AI is entering its golden age. This is why

Chen: Every new set of computer techniques will create a temporary imbalance in that the people who know the most about it are scarce, and therefore very expensive and not big in number. Then the imbalance works itself out as universities and groups and other places start training more and more of these people. So I think we're going to turn the corner on that in AI. Just as an anecdote, the top three AI computer science classes at Stanford are "Intro to AI," "Natural Language Processing" and "Vision Processing." … Each one of those classes has or is approaching 1,000 students. We're going to work through the imbalance and get more trained people to the frontlines.
