AMD doesn't care about Deep Learning, or ML at all. To quote:

And in the case of the dollars spent on R&D, they seem to be very happy doing stuff in the car industry, and long may that continue—good luck to them. We're spending our dollars the areas we're focused on[1]

To be clear, stuff in the car industry is "just" stuff like self driving cars[2][3].
