What Are The Most Exciting Areas Of Artificial Intelligence Research In 2018?

A few years ago, we could barely generate written digits. Then, the convolutional network came along and suddenly images became hundreds of times easier to deal with. In recent years, the generative adversarial network has brought the most magic with it. We can now generate celebrity faces at almost perfect accuracy, which in my opinion is amazing and something I had not even thought was possible. Also, something that's caught my attention is CycleGAN, which is a way to translate images (for example, cows- horses or daytime- nighttime), WITHOUT the need for training pairs!
