The history of artificial intelligence is replete with small advances mistaken at the time for big leaps forward, creating a mix of enthusiasm and unfulfilled promises that make it difficult to assess the true capabilities of current AI. 

Enthusiasts are correct in claiming that recent advances in machine learning mark a new era in AI: For a range of problems, these systems now work well enough to be profitably deployed. Yet critics are likewise correct to point out that AI systems are still limited and require a considerable amount of engineering.  While newspapers lead with the news that DeepMind’s Alpha Go learned how to become the best Go player in 40 days, less reported is that it took the DeepMind team over two years to design the algorithm.

What is unambiguously clear is that data is growing at an exponential rate and that what is needed are experts to understand its value, and process and visualise its implications so as to enable progress in different social and professional domains.
