Reinforcement learning is an exciting field with the potential to make a profound impact
on the history of humankind. Several technologies have influenced the history of our
world and changed the course of humankind, from fire, to the wheel, to electricity, to the
internet. Each technological discovery propels the next discovery in a compounding
way. Without electricity, the personal computer wouldn’t exist; without it, the internet
wouldn’t exist; without it, search engines wouldn’t exist.
