Promising paths and limitations for analytics, ML, AI applications: Applications that largely replace current assessment technologies and uses.
What are key capacities that will likely be available in 3-5 years? 5-10 years? What commonly promoted or promised applications will likely not to be operational at scale in the next 10 years? Why not? What are promising paths for adoption and implementation? What underlying work models and capacities do these applications require? How different are they from how things are currently done?
