Pattern matching can solve everything, if given enough storage and training data.
There's never going to be training data for "how things are going to be next year". A lot of large scale systems involve emergence [1], patterns which previously were not visible suddenly appearing. I think even today's AI can do things that a bit beyond pattern matching (learning to learn, etc). But pure matching as such is inherently limited.

- fxtentacle 5y agoI would be surprised if AI predictions for "how things are going to be next year" would be worse than expert human predictions at the 90% percentile. I mean most trends for next year will already be around this year, they'll just be too weak to notice.
