We may think of the current status of AI research. It is predicted that by 2030 AI will take over human beings. Though it is a speculation can be very interesting to see it.
As far as the current status is concerned, it obviously cannot do many things which human beings can do. But during the past few years the progress is very fast.
You might have come across the news that the inventors of DNN received the ACM Turing prize for this year. Actually DNN and its alloys are achieving many goals.
You may do some readings on it, to figure out where we at right now....this will be very helpful to determine what to focus on and provide more inputs so that it can improve further...most people may do a lot of machine learning and not provide any contribution..
