		itchyjunk on April 1, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Google Brain Toronto I am seeing a lot of investments and MASSIVE promised commitments by a lot of people/company. Is all this money going towards paying experts/ buying equipments ? Don't get me wrong, I like seeing all this money being poured in. It's just that i'm curious as to how this money is being used. Tangentially, do you think any of this will trickle down to people who are trying to learn math/ML in the form of scholarships?

I agree. It has all been quite vague. I wonder if any will go towards AI based startups.
