Indeed. I expect that high powered computer systems
will be applied to problems like microprocessor
layout, aircraft structure optimization, and
credit card offer generation because they already
are. If AI type software proves useful to business
then it will get used extensively simply due to the
profit motive. If it's not useful to buiness, it
won't get used.
