Artificial Intelligence predictions for 2014

small (but useful) improvements in narrow AI
- incremental improvements to natural-language interfaces and search
- more reliability in self-driving vehicles (still not road-ready)
- better facial recognition
- some improvement in video and natural-movement recognition (not ready for commercial use, but close)

no major changes in strong AI
- impressive, but non-generalizable robotics demos
- hierarchical learning algorithms become more ubiquitous
- ensemble learning becomes the new hotness

cheaper robotics
- more schools and hobbyists getting into robotics as prices for Arduino-type and Raspberry Pi boards and add-ons continue to fall
- mobile robotics kits with proximity sensors and rechargeable batteries for under $100 becoming available on Amazon

I think you're mistaken to believe this is a certainty, but what causes you to believe this is so, +Eve Volve ? As I understand it, there have been healthy, thriving vegetarians and vegans for as long as there have been humans. Some were so due to moral or ethical concerns, others due to resource utilization issues, others due to cultural taboos. All other factors being equal, the veg(etari)ans have thrived, and continue to do so. For some more recent historical examples of vegans, we can look at Pythagoras, the "Pythagoreans" (as vegans were called for the following 1300 years), along with a plethora of like-minded contemporaries (e.g. goo.gl/lgDBL ). Buddhists, Jainists, et al., have been doing grand as veg(etari)ans since around the 6th century BCE. Prior to this, there's compelling reason to believe that most people were veg...
