AI and ML, separating hype from what actually matters
summary
Argues that AI hype outpaces practical wins: $15.2B in 2017 (141% up) drives buzz but investors will soon demand proof, not labels. Gives failed examples (QR/beacon pushes) and says blockchain ≠ database for most use cases. Notes real work moves to a hybrid edge+cloud model (Microsoft/Amazon edge integrations), warns of on-device latency and battery limits, and highlights concrete harms from biased models in hiring and content ranking that require diverse data and auditability.
