Some years ago, one of the things that was hyped in the AI Community but that I still think has huge relevance for the future in AI is Federated Learning and Privacy Preserving Machine Learning (PPML). This comes from an idea that future devices will have more than enough power to run the majority of our biggest models, or that models will be efficient enough to run on them. This without losing the aspect of keeping our data private and secure.
What do you think about this? Do you think this is where AI Development would head eventually? What others directions could be the most feasible and with the most usage our future? A couple of those that come to my mind are Embodied AI and Causal Machine Learning.
