Abstract

People often complain that AI is not developing as well as expected. They say, "Progress was quick in the early years of AI, but now it is not growing so fast." I find this funny, because people have been saying the same thing as long as I can remember. In fact we are still rapidly developing new useful systems for recognizing patterns and for supervising processes. Furthermore, modern hardware is so fast and reliable that we can employ almost any programs we can create. Good new systems appear every year, for different "expert" applications.
