&gt; how it can open AI to the world unless it can share rather valuable data sets<p>I think the spectacularly publishable performance from industry comes entirely from these massive datasets.<p>AlphaGo needed way more energy and data than a person did to perform as well as it did. To a set of pedantic but extremely well-meaning researchers, that could be interpreted as a huge failure.<p>Clearly whatever it&#x27;s doing isn&#x27;t the kind of intelligence that people have, since people don&#x27;t need megawatts of power and 30 million game sets. But that&#x27;s what big companies have that academic departments don&#x27;t.<p>Journals publish both approaches though, and we all win from great discoveries.
