Deep learning in medicine is set to reach epidemic proportions. Scanning systems will be able to detect early onset of diseases.

By 2019, an extra 1.4 million industrial robots will be deployed in factories worldwide. Deep learning machinery will be able to learn new skills and adapt to their surroundings to deliver highly customized products.

Deep learning unmanned aerial vehicles will be able to detect signs of life such as a heartbeat underneath rubble in a disaster zone, and then alert emergency services of the person’s location.

Californian tech start-up Brain of Things has developed a deep learning building control system. After of two days of observing the resident’s routine, it learns their preferences and works for each occupant. The door unlocks automatically when they arrive home, the curtains open when it’s time to wake up – but also remember the essential weekend lie-ins.

With a deep learning car, you’ll never get lost again. The windscreen could display your route, highlighting key turning points. Taking a trip abroad? It could even translate road signs.

The 285 million visually impaired people in the world could benefit from a wearable device that provides the user with real time data on their surroundings.
