This paper surveys recent developments at the intersection of operator learning, statistical learning theory, and approximation theory. First, it reviews error bounds for empirical risk minimization with a focus on holomorphic operators and neural network approximations. Next, it illustrates fundamental performance limits in terms of sample size by adopting a minimax perspective and considering various notions of regularity beyond holomorphy. The paper ends with a discussion on the interplay between these two perspectives and related open questions.
