Thought of another application. Let's say you're a teacher. One of the hardest parts of education today is relating a concept by using other concepts that are more familiar to students. Its a translation problem, but there's an unknown variable. The teacher (especially if they're talking to a large class) may not actively know how well or how correctly their students are understanding the topic.

Assuming that a system is good enough to commercialize, there's probably some AI tech that's gaining traction too. If you could use AI to analyze a students understanding, the computer could interactively forge the lesson. The result would be faster, more accurate learning.

Learning, in my opinion being one of the biggest barriers to progress, the pace of change would be incredible!
