Artificial Intelligence Tech Will Arrive in Three Waves

I've done a lot of writing and research recently about the bright future of AI: that it'll be able to analyze human emotions, understand social nuances, conduct medical treatments and diagnoses that overshadow the best human physicians, and in general make many human workers redundant and unnecessary. I still stand behind all of these forecasts, but they are meant for the long term – twenty or thirty years into the future. And so, the question that many people want answered is about the situation at the present. Luckily, DARPA has decided to provide an answer to that question. DARPA is one of the most interesting US agencies.
