It probably won't and I don't think that's the goal. However, Elixir is making pretty significant roads for distributed data processing pipelines thanks to the Broadway framework (https://elixir-broadway.org/ https://elixir-broadway.org/). AI/ML applications were going to be a natural next step after that. It's exciting for Elixir because number crunching was the biggest computational weakness for the language for the last few years and many thought it was a limitation of BEAM languages in general. Jose's work has shown that it's not.
