AI is going to be the big thing this decade. Be prepared

[Koba St]

Seeing how fast technology moves, AI in the 2020s is going to be a big deal. I’m guessing a lot of jobs will be under threat so some of y’all better start looking at your jobs and whether it can be replaced and start either getting your AI certs or looking for another job

Scientists for all their good intentions and knowledge, are often far off.

True, but I think the story since 2012 been a bit different. From the 1950s until 2012, AI had made very little progress and there were very few applications in the real world. However, in the 7 last years, we've gone from finally figuring out how to recognize just a cat in a photo to real-time interpretation of a scene in a video. In less than a decade we have made an incredible evolution while in 70 years we had almost no progress. And the only real variable that I can see that changed in this equation is compute power. Maybe, the story of humans failing to create human level-ai so far is a story of limited computational resources. In hindsight, no matter how smart an ai researcher was in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and etc, computers were too shyt to do anything, he was never going to produce strong AI.

AI is the beast system.

This is basically an amendment of Moore's Law. Yes, every 10 years technological capabilities double (this isn't "correct", but for the sake of the argument I'll say it is), but there are few true applications that require "true" AI, by that I mean completely autonomous. I'm not talking about machine learning, that specifically needs human interaction.

It's also not fair to say that researchers aren't as accomplished(my interpretation of what you said), they built the foundation and most technology you see today at its base is old(its been around a lot longer than most people think) and repurposed.

The only reason you see the push for greater computing power is because people are investing in it heavily nowadays. It had its roots in colleges, now independent companies are in on it. Computer Science is basically in its infancy. The computers are/were state of the art

From the 1950s until 2012, AI had made very little progress and there were very few applications in the real world.
