In another piece of news: China to add AI courses in primary education https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15154289 Where does the US stand? Any serious plans by its leaders and the government?
Oh goodness, please do not make courses mandatory. China adding AI courses to their primary education means their students will hate it.
You can dislike Putin because of his actions but you cannot deem his opinion irrelevant.

It was Google's simplification and opening of Tensorflow that almost immediately sparked the boom that's occurring now. That is exactly where it began to broadly take hold. You can trace it directly by counting AI stories on HN. There's a before TF and an after TF. I don't think it's subtle, there was a huge acceleration at exactly that time forward.
Is TensorFlow really that much better than Torch and the others, or is it just the Google brand that gave it the extra juice?

The opinions of experts are often irrelevant unless they have the agency to act. Based on your categorization Musk and Page's opinions aren't relevant in this manner either, neither of them is what one would classify an expert in AI, but like Putin thier opinion matters because the agency they wield.
