Learn I am new to the AI, but very interested in it. The AI will start a new technological era (just like the Internet or steam engines), so it it very important to be competent in it.

As a programmer from the game development industry, I also want to know what should the industry expect from the emerging of the AI.Share I am an advanced wikipedian and a professional programmer (however, not yet very competent in AI).
