AI 2027

 

AI 2027 is a roadmap for developing AI. It was created by the AI Futures Project in 2025. It lists several technologies and predicts when they might occur from now until 2030. I have taken the technologies and grouped them into AI 2027's three groupings, Exists, Emerging, and Science Fiction. Then I note as the years pass which group each technology moves to, the final being existing. Note that this is their original prediction, some things may have changed, see their website and blog for more.
