In related news, Daniel Gutierrez from insideBigData has compiled an extensive listing of industry predictions from Big Data thought leaders.

AI, ML, and NLP innovations have really exploded this past year but despite a lot of hype, most of the tangible applications are still based on specialized AI and not general AI. We will continue to see new use-cases of such specialized AI across verticals and key business processes. These use-cases would primarily be focused on the evolutionary process improvement side of the digital transformation.”
