Question
Does AI have a future?
Thanks

Answer
Yes, but it also depends on your definition of 'AI'.  I work in the speech recognition and natural language recognition areas of AI.  I believe these areas will experiance strong growth over the next 10 years.  Visual recognition will start to do well over the next 20 years or so.  The kind of AI you see at the movie theathers - forget it.

Expertise

I can answer questions about speech recognition and natural language understanding. I am particulary strong in knowedge based natural langauge techniques. I cannot answer questions about robotics, nueral nets, prolog, or vision recognition - just speech and natural language.

Experience

I have spent 25 years developing natural language software products. I have never developed speech systems, but I have developed sophisticated interfaces from natural language to speech. I have been working with speech recognition systems also for 25 years.
