Specially is ‘automation in test’ going to fall under the AI realm?
From what I read and see AI is still in its infancy
It might be a while before we start seeing tangible results
Moreover on automation, I think automation itself is not mature enough yet
As a community we are still figuring out how to do it well
Since we are ourselves are not 100% clear on how to do it
It’s going to be hard to teach a machine, or for a machine to learn iteslf..
A better question would be how to help testing of AI products at this point, not the other way around
Lesson – Let’s get mature in testing and automation, I feel we still have a long way to go

Ali,
The opportunity with automation and then AI is going to be to free up human testers to test the things the machines can’t, such as the way end users interact with the product; let alone the whole question of whether AIs can take “ethical” decisions and how ethics are going to be written into system design and code. In my view, it’s a whole new area and some of the issues will require brand new skills sets.
Thank you for adding to it Robert. That certainly is the direction of research and surely the skill set to test these has to be developed. It depends thought how much main stream this becomes and how quickly.
