Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence have enabled a wide range of breakthroughs in many domains, including image recognition, speech recognition, machine translation, learning to play video games, learning to control simulated and real robots, and mastering the classical game of Go. In this talk I will start from some of the eye-catching headlines in the popular press, spanning AI taking over the world, national strategies and priorities, major valuations, and claims that AI is the new electricity. From there I will highlight actual advances being made, provide background on ideas and trends that have powered these advances, and share examples on how AI is making impact in various organizations. Finally I'll discuss near and long term considerations, my thoughts on whether an AI winter is impending, and on the relationship between AI and humans.
