One really exciting place things might improve is in data cleaning. Right now preprocessing your data and putting it in a format that can be learned efficiently and without bias is a huge pain // risk. This next generation is allowing us to largely ignore a lot of that work.

Similarly, transfer learning is finally good.

And the models are generalist, few shot learners.

As a consequence, individuals with minimal expertise can set up a world class system to solve niche problems. That's really exciting and it's going to get easier.
