Some of the staff cuts include several longtime employees, according to The Verge. The layoffs total around a dozen people, a CNET staffer says, or about 10 percent of the editorial staff.

Only 10% of companies obtain significant financial benefits from artificial intelligence technologies.

Artificial intelligence has indeed pushed the boundaries of our brave new world during 2017. In another solar system far, far away, two new planets have been identified using data from NASA's Kepler space telescope and Google AI models: Kepler-80 g and Kepler-90i. So, where are the next frontiers for 2018 and beyond? Well, for starters, Walmart, Anheuser-Busch, and PepsiCo have all placed orders for Elon Musk's self-driving electric Semi trucks that will not only turn heads, but hopefully reduce carbon footprints. On the home front, we have peace of mind through intelligent smart doorbells with real-time notifications to our smartphones when someone is at our front door--along with photos and videos if they try to make off with a package).
