The presentation goes straight from from linear regression and classification to computer vision and reinforcement learning.

The practical value of ML/AI is what’s in between and is something that isn’t often discussed between all the hype. ML/AI can be used to build models which work well with nontabular data (e.g. text and images), and can solve such regression/classification problems more cleanly. (and with tools like Keras, they’re as easy to train and deploy as a normal model)
