Re: Article
@freehe: Thanks for the compliments. The technology is ready but to commercialize it, you need standards and a whole lot more. At this point in time, there is a great deal of disagreement on viable use cases, the overall techno-economic viability of 5G given that the edge will be very significantly augmented and the cost of especially radio technologies is going to be enormous.
Re: Verticals
@freehe: THe capabilities of AI and robotics are overhyped. The current algos are limited. A recent article in the Technology Review summed it well.
"There's a sort of reality distortion field that Hinton (the inventor of deep learning algorithms) creates, an air of certainty and enthusiasm, that gives you the feeling there's nothing that vectors can't do. After all, look at what they've been able to produce already: cars that drive themselves, computers that detect cancer, machines that instantly translate spoken language. And look at this charming British scientist talking about gradient descent in high-dimensional spaces!
It's only when you leave the room that you remember: these "deep learning" systems are still pretty dumb, in spite of how smart they sometimes seem. A computer that sees a picture of a pile of doughnuts piled up on a table and captions it, automatically, as "a pile of doughnuts piled on a table" seems to understand the world; but when that same program sees a picture of a girl brushing her teeth and says "The boy is holding a baseball bat," you realize how thin that understanding really is, if ever it was there at all." https://www.technologyreview.com/.../is-ai-riding-a-one.../
