What to Expect in 2018 in Artificial Intelligence

There has been tremendous buzz around Artificial Intelligence in the past year, and I expect it only to increase in 2018. From self-driving cars to computers that create their own languages (and so had to be shut down) - we've heard and read about it all. Some of these stories depict AI accurately but many of them are plain hyperbole. There hasn't been another technological advance in the past that has the power to change our lives so profoundly and is yet so misunderstood. Computer Vision, the branch of AI that deals with making computers process and recognize images better has probably benefited the most from the recent developments in Deep Learning technology.
