Deep dives
The concept of AI winter and its implications
AI winter refers to a state of disillusionment and negative sentiment towards AI caused by overhype and mismanagement of expectations. When people become tired of waiting for the promised advancements and start focusing on the negatives, AI gets stigmatized. This can lead to the undervaluation and rejection of machine learning, which is a real technology with valuable applications. Machine learning should be distinguished from the overblown concept of AI that often dominates discussions.
