Deeper deep learning shifts AI from sci-fi to software - SiliconANGLE

The basic framework for artificial intelligence has existed since the 1940s, and organizations have been innovating atop AI advancements ever since. In recent years, big data and advanced deep learning models have pushed AI into the spotlight like never before. Will these new technological ingredients finally produce the intelligent machines envisaged in science fiction, or are current AI trends just the same wine in a fancier bottle? "It's actually new wine, but there's various bottles and you have different vintages," said James Kobielus (@jameskobielus, below, left), Wikibon.com's Actually, much of the old wine is still quite palatable; the new iterations of AI use and build upon methods that have come before, Kobielus added.
