Deep learning is useful because it enables us to create programs that we could not otherwise code by hand. But the space of programs you can learn via deep learning models is a minuscule slice of the space of programs that we may be interested in.

Perhaps more importantly, although human engineers can cover a dramatically larger section of the space of interesting programs (compared to deep learning models), many useful programs remain inaccessible even to humans -- we cannot develop them by hand.

It will be the job of future AI systems to give us access to these programs.

What do you mean by 'interesting'
@fchollet ? -
Yes. I'm also interested to know a few examples of what you mean by interesting.

I imagine that would be an interesting conjecture to prove. I think it's easier to prove it wrong by the conjecture that neural nets trained using backprop is Turing complete. NNs are, but I've not seen a proof that includes the learning algorithm. Also what's max(t)?

Can you expand on the "cannot" here? Is this a claim about practicality, or theory?
-
It is about practicality, given the weak ability of humans to write "big" algorithms. And you can theorize that with Kolmogorov complexity. Interesting algorithms may have a high K. complexity, e.g. human intelligence may be few GB of incompressible code.

Isn't every algorithm, if seen as a black box, an affine transform between two different vector spaces?

Better tools for integrating structured and unstructured knowledge and reasoning in combination with backprop learning of said affine transforms seems like a promising path - lot of good work going on in the area of old AI meets new.
