Deepmind are working on solving the plasma control issue at the moment, I suspect they're probably using a bit of AI.... and I wouldn't put it past them to crack it.

This is the thing with AI: We can always come up with a new architecture with different inputs & outputs to solve lots of problems that couldn't be solved before.

People equating AI with other single-problem-solving technologies are clearly not seeing the bigger picture.

Can we? Why haven't we, then? What are the big problems that were unsolvable before and now we can solve them with AI?

Auto-tagging of photos, generating derivative images and winning at Go, I will give you. There's been some progress on protein folding, I heard?

Where's the 21st century equivalent of the steam locomotive or the sewing machine?
