Currently, we are focusing on very narrow field of Artificial Intelligence. Not that it is a bad thing, but we should not call it "AI". We are mostly solving the problem of Data Analysis at Scale, which again, for businesses is the most logical thing to do. I do not doubt that in the future, data analysis will be an important jigsaw part in a true AI system. Currently, I look forward to/want to see more research/movement in other ideas/fields/methods which peep into AGI. Maybe Probabilistic (Quantum? or Neuromorphic?) Computing? Maybe Artificial Life? Maybe Cognitive Architectures? Recap into Symbolic? PS: This is not a popular opinion, but I do want to share it with fellow HNers. We do most of the computing to solve the hard problems in our society and trade, and that is surely very noble. Having said that, When I was growing up, I used to see/feel a lot of developments in Computers happened for the sake of Computing. It felt like hacking was all together different field; Linux, the all the Free Software movement, Windows NT, Doom, Quake, Huge advances in Compilers, the whole culture around it etc. Today I mostly see computing that works to advance and solve real world business problems like better advertisements or helping with other noble fields like astrophysics and genetics. I consider it as an advancement of our tech society, but as immature as I am, I miss that time. Anyway, I would love to see AI for the sake of AI.
