I was really surprised that there was no mention of APIs there. Obviously as "services" many (most?) of these AI services would be available via APIs. There are already machine-readable directories of APIs and AI services relying on external APIs, so we can extrapolate that we'll see more and more AI/ML systems experimenting with various external APIs as part of their learning. From this perspective, it's very clear to me that there's a big difference between a translation service and a service that would "steer Fortune 500 companies". The latter will be much more open-ended and most likely dynamically rely on many other services. Indeed, I would also expect it to rely on artificial-artificial-intelligence services such as Mechanical Turk and Upwork, giving it a lot more flexibility. What is to prevent that complex service from evolving beyond its creator's expectations?
