Another interesting indication of the fact that AI is moving from academia to industry is that DeepMind’s Nature paper about AlphaGo has 20 authors. And LinkedIn’s 2017 Jobs Report told us that the fastest-growing position is machine learning engineer. And there were at least 225 AI/machine-learning conferences held in 2018. Perhaps the brothers Wright are gazing down with an amused sense of déjà vu. We live in interesting times.

This insistence on an answer is one strategy that makes many interviewers feel uncomfortable or even a little mean. When it’s obvious that a candidate is avoiding giving an answer, many people feel a great temptation to ease the tension by allowing the topic to be changed.
