The Artificial 'Artificial Intelligence' Bubble and the Future of Cybersecurity.

I think the recent article in the New York Times about the boom in'artificial intelligence' in Silicon Valley made many people think hard about the future of cybersecurity – both the near and distant future. Sometimes when I hang around with A.I. enthusiasts here in the valley, I feel like an atheist at a convention of evangelicals. What's going on now in the field of'AI' resembles a soap bubble. And we all know what happens to soap bubbles eventually if they keep getting blown up by the circus clowns (no pun intended!): Now, of course, without bold steps and risky investments a fantastical future will never become a reality.
