If you want to get an idea how fast AI is moving here is a blog post for you published on the BLAIR (Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research) website: When Recurrent Models Don't Need to be Recurrent. Essentially, this post describes that celebrated AI approaches (e.g. recurrent neural networks) that were considered top of the line until just a few years if not a few a month ago are seriously questioned and about to be substituted with new AI approaches (Google’s Wavenet, Google’s Transformer).
Absolutely breathtaking!
Original Post
The Immediate Past Is Prologue
Some of the readers may remember such popular expressions as living at Internet speed.
However, since about 2005/2006 we are living at AI speeds. The speed at which AI is proliferating and evolving is absolutely incredible.
Just follow a talk like this one by Yann LeCun (here, Chief AI Scientist at Facebook) and you get an idea how fast and far AI has come within a span of a few years.
A Revolution For Everyone
Most amazing is the the general attitude to make AI open source and open publish and learnable by everyone who cares on the Internet. There probably never was a technological revolution before in history, where the leaders of the revolution want to make sure that everyone interested in this revolution can instantly participate, grow with it, and learn and practice all about it at any time.
No Hype
You better believe the hype! If you don’t it is at your own peril. AI will be so transformative like few other technologies ever before in human history.
