While artificial intelligence has been making huge progress, one area stubbornly remains the domain of humans: the ability to understand the meaning of language. Lane Greene, deputy editor for books and arts for The Economist and author of You Are What You Speak, looks at language technology research and its many obstacles and challenges. getAbstract recommends this article to anyone fascinated by the future of language technologies.
