Operations research and business analytics will obviously continue to be important but we'll also start seeing machine learning replacing a lot of labor and augmenting a large portion of our daily tasks. It will change how we interact with computers. I used to work at an image recognition API startup and went through an AI incubator with my own company so I got to see the huge range of applications of this technology. At the incubator we had a company automating customer support (acquired by google), another one automating appointment booking and scheduling, sales call analytics using speech recognition, automatic reading comprehension quizzes for K-12, deep learning for radiology, patient tracking/monitoring at retirement homes and hospitals, imitation learning based robotics, deep learning based hedge fund, amazon go like vending machines, fashion analytics, social media analytics/engagement for brands.
