“AI trends in 2021, following up the hype cycle from 2020” by Arturo Opsetmoen Amador
Artificial intelligence has powered many of our interactions for several years. From intelligent assistants to recommender systems (i.a. Netflix, Amazon), to robot vacuum cleaners, AI is embedded in our lives. Just as electricity transformed almost everything 100 years ago, today it is difficult to think of any industry where AI will not have a transformative effect in the next several years.
AI, however, comes with its challenges. It is often over-hyped, and disillusionment is a natural consequence of this. Join us in this presentation where we will go through some of the fields and applications of AI that have captured the attention of several industries in 2020. We will see where in Gartner's hype cycle they are, and we will see which ones are already being used in innovative ways in the industry.
