From investment to wellness: Expect these 5 artificial intelligence trends in 2018

Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, deep learning – all terms casually tossed about over recent years to paint a vision of a future only seen in Hollywood movies.

Simply put, there will be less talk and more action as all energies sunk in investment and research and development of newer applications of AI start producing results in 2018. "Results are starting to appear beyond computers learning to beat humans at board games and TV game shows," said Bernard Marr, bestselling author and industry expert.
