We're Reading About AI, Data Visualization, Deep Learning, and More

I'm reading "Artificial Intelligence -- The Revolution Hasn't Happened Yet" by Berkeley computer science professor Michael I Jordan. It is a quick, light, read but thought provoking. His point is that once the dust settles after the hype around ubiquitous Artificial Intelligence (AI), we'll realize that what is being called AI is less general purpose intelligence than a collection of powerful tools for augmenting human intelligence (e.g., Siri, what he calls intelligence augmentation or IA) and the intelligent infrastructure (II) that makes these tools possible. There are also some good historical anecdotes in the article. Whether or not you agree with Jordan's point in this piece, I'd still encourage you to check out the reading list he's long suggested to his post docs and grad students, it is a gem.
