What is the next big thing in AI and ML? – The Launchpad – Medium

The past year has been rich in events, discoveries and developments in AI. It is hard to sort through the noise to see if the signal is there and, if it is, what is the signal saying. This post attempts to get you exactly that: I'll try to extract some of the patterns in the AI landscape over the past year. And, if we are lucky, we'll see how some of the trends extend into the near future. Make no mistake: this is an opinion piece. I am not trying to establish some comprehensive record of accomplishments for the year. I am merely trying to outline some of these trends. Another caveat: this review is US-centric. A lot of interesting things are happening, say, in China, but I, unfortunately, am not familiar with that exciting ecosystem.
