AI/ML - specifically Deep Bayesian approaches. The Deep neural network might have run its course, but Bayesian approaches (Probabilistic Graph Models) hold a lot of promise.

I think "run it's course" is a little needlessly pessimistic when there are still major strides being made each year in that area.
This comes off as pretty biased. "Run its course?" - really? Remind me, did DeepMind use Probabilistic Graphical Models to beat Lee Sedol at Go? Does any of OpenAI's research use them?
just clarifying that there are many ways to incorporate Bayesian approaches in ML besides probabilistic graphical models
