3 Artificial Intelligence Predictions (and 1 AI Wish) for 2018

After seeing a bunch of online quizzes that could guess what kind of year I will have in 2018 based off of strange things such as my preferred pizza toppings (mushrooms and green peppers) or my favorite Beatles songs (Penny Lane and Come Together FYI), I felt inspired to put together a list of AI predictions for 2018. As with all things AI, I reached out to my fellow ROSS cofounder, Jimoh Ovbiagele, the brains and the beauty of the operation, for his take on where he sees deep learning going in 2018, what deep learning improvements he sees are on the horizon, challenges the AI community will face this coming year and lastly, to get his take on what his AI wish for 2018 is. Andrew Arruda: First things first Jimoh, I'd like your prediction on where you think deep learning will make the biggest impact in 2018? Amazon, Google, and Apple sold millions of devices with voice interfaces in 2017. To deliver on their promises, they are betting heavily on deep learning to process and fulfill the voice commands given by their users.
