The Future of AI in 2021

AI is a large part of our world already, affecting online search results and the way we shop. Interest in AI has attracted long-term investments in AI use across several industries, particularly in customer service, medical diagnostics and self-driving vehicles. The increased data available through research has created better algorithms which have enabled more complex AI systems that improve a user's experience with search engines and online translation tools, but also means that businesses can make far more focused sales and marketing drives to customers and financial markets have virtual assistants able to deal with more than the simplest of requests. AI system improvements will involve the processing of massive amounts of data which needs improved computing power and better algorithms and tools. Using cryptography and blockchain has made it easier to build these advances since they can publicly share data whilst keeping company information confidential.
