Replace IBM's Watson with anything branded with "AI" right now and themes in the article still hold up.

  It is likely that AI has not matured to the level its being marketed at currently? And that the over hyping of it today will negatively impact its adoption when ready for general use?

    Seems like AI has been over-hyped for decades, just rarely with someone as prominent as IBM leading the charge.

    It happened in the 80s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter It will happen again. The use of the phrase "artificial intelligence" itself ought to be forbidden until such a thing actually exists in the corporeal world.

      >It will happen again maybe an 'AI recession' is plausible but a large scale loss of interest is unlikely given that AI / ML / deep learning (pick your favourite word) is already too embedded in commercial application. Like always the hype in the field is strong, but this time we actually have the data growth we need to produce palpable results (and already have).
