We are participating in a world where the limit to what computers can do is less bounded than ever. Firmly past the AI winters, speculation about where machine learning can take technology is reaching new heights of not only optimism but tangible results.

Big tech players, Google and Apple, have recognized that and are pouring money and effort into beefing up their ML chops.
