Too Long; Didn't Read
Current, industry-led, interest in artificial intelligence is almost entirely focussed on <em>data-driven</em> AI. The reasons are easy to understand. Cheap data storage, fast processors and advancements in neural net algorithms and other data-centric techniques have made it possible to extract huge value out of data. We can build systems that can predict what will happen next based on what they’ve seen so far, very efficiently. Their performance is at times even better than that of a human being. The focus on data-driven AI is such that people have gone as far as labelling data-driven machine learning “<a href="https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/what-machine-learning-means-for-software-development" target="_blank">the part of AI that works</a>”
