VCs poured billions of dollars in funding AI-related startups. Platform companies increased their R&D budget to accelerate research in AI & ML domains. The number of online courses offering self-paced learning has hit the roof. Finally, there is no single industry vertical that’s not impacted by AI. Though it has become a cliché, ‘democratizing machine learning’ has taken off in 2017.
