Machine Learning is very popular right now because there is a lot of money to be made from statistical analysis of big data sets. This is what is driving the research, it is not the route to strong generalised artificial intelligence. But a new EU regulation (GDPR) comes into force in May 2018 that requires all automated decisions can be questioned and require an explanation. It's always been hard enough to convince clients to use a simple back-propagation three layer network that performs one statistical function, to explain how a deep learning model functions by extracting out hundreds of salient variables will be near impossible.
Like all AI techniques, machine learning has its limitations.
