The development of AI applications would appear to be a field with a lot of potential for growth. Presumably there is money to be made satisfying some of this potential demand. It tends to be complex and subtle. It generally requires a large investment in problem analysis. More AI software would be developed if it were cheaper to do so.
AI applications tend to require a lot of support and they tend to have a lot of future-risk.
It is particularly difficult for a tiny software venture to develop and market new AI software. More AI applications would be developed if getting involved with them was safer. Some problems are sufficiently hard that no known AI technique is completely satisfactory. More AI would be used if trying to do so was more likely to be successful. Artificial intelligence is limited by the expense and risk associated with trying to take advantage of particular opportunities.
