The Evolving Face of Artificial Intelligence

AI growth has dominated most of last year's technology news, from algorithms learning how to play Go without human input, through Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg disputing the dangers and benefits of AI to humanity, down to Russia and China declaring it to be a top priority. Looking ahead, 2018 will be a year of developing and deepening all available AI technologies. Deep learning, one of the most important subfields of research on artificial intelligence, will be especially promising. Generally speaking, the goal of artificial intelligence is to make computers as smart, or even smarter than human beings, by giving them human-like thinking and reasoning abilities. Among the many ways to achieve this, machine learning AI is the baseline technique, used widely across all industries.
