The biggest artificial intelligence developments of 2017

I'm still driving my own car and visit a human doctor when I feel sick. I still haven't surrendered my job to a lifeless robot, and I don't think Alexa or Siri is my best friend. And no, we haven't manufactured our AI-powered robot overlords yet. Nonetheless, just like last year, this year saw some interesting developments in the field of artificial intelligence. As I watched the landscape, I can describe the developments as a shift from hype and craze to reality checks and more focus on the social and political repercussions of this fast moving domain.
