Industry Predictions: Key Trends in 2017

#artificialintelligence 

At KDnuggets, we try to keep our finger on the pulse of main events and developments in industry, academia, and technology. We also do our best to look forward to key trends on the horizon. In this post we present predictions from those in industry, which do not follow a prescribed question but which do address what to keep a look out for in different sectors in the upcoming year. Quotes are organized alphabetically by name of the company which they have been submitted on behalf of, and we have reserved the right to edit (extract excerpts from) for both content and length. As the predictions come from across industry and reach into its many different niche sectors, there is no general consensus or over-arching themes herein, which makes intuitive sense.
