Can you name at least three different sub-fields of AI? Neural Networking, Machine Learning and Robotics (I am not sure of this fact you can self check it)
AI has been around since about 70 years so far. Why is it booming right now? I believe it's the exponential development of AI which was unexpected.
Can you name at least three application sectors where robots are being largely employed?
