Brain, DeepMind and MI are mostly researchy. I know some people working on applied deep learning that got shuffled multiple times between PAs in the last year - it seems to be the solution for this exact problem.
What is MI?..
Machine Intelligence
A contradiction in terms, or an oxymoron?
MI - machine intelligence. Actually, it sounds like the article actually means MI when it says AI. John Giannandrea mentioned in the article used to be a head of "search & MI". So it makes sense that Jeff Dean would become a head of MI.
This is a cool name, I think people should use it more widely instead of AI.
