An entertaining debate on the future of AI was just held at AAAI, one of the top AI conferences: https://player.vimeo.com/video/314378703?autoplay=1#t=1h7m0s …. The chair and organizer was our own Kevin Leyton-Brown. The debaters were absolutely hilarious, not to mention deeply informative. And the audience vote confirmed CAIDA's holistic view of the field: although over 2/3 of AAAI submissions were ML-related, a large majority of the audience voted against the proposition that "The AI community today should continue to focus mostly on ML methods."
