In AI, You Want to Be a Jazz Band

As I continue working on exciting research in Artificial Intelligence, I like making parallels with other areas of science and life in general. I think there is a perfect metaphor from music that explains the AI market. Since helping people fight their health problems is my passion, I'll focus on AI in healthcare. The AI market is currently overwhelmingly at the two opposite extremes -- a high school band and a 7,500-person orchestra. Both extremes are perfectly acceptable and have their audiences. However, there is not much in the middle.
