Building the AI solutions of the future requires us to address the current limitations in today’s systems. A key objective of this book is to provide a clear and honest assessment of the current state of AI because it’s only by understanding where we are today that we can chart a realistic path to the future. While media portrayals of AI often lean toward the sensational, my aim is to provide a balanced perspective. Much of the technology we find exciting and innovative today has actually been in development for over half a century. Although challenges remain, such as efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability, they present opportunities for growth and improvement as we continue on this exciting AI journey.
