SAPVoice: Does Artificial Intelligence Have A Dirty, Little Secret?

On one hand, there's recent PwC findings suggesting A.I. could drive $15.7 trillion in productivity gains by 2030. On the other, a recent piece from The New York Times makes a compelling case that, despite all the hype, A.I.'s dirty little secret is that "it still has a long, long way to go." There's no question A.I. is a developing technology. As The New York Times piece points out, we can find plenty of examples of robots falling over while opening doors, driverless cars needing human intervention, and machines that still cannot read reliably at the level of a sixth grader. And while there are many "microdiscoveries" being made along the way, progress toward real human cognition remains elusive.
