Research, the universal pursuit of new knowledge, is embarking on a fresh journey into artificial intelligence (AI). Nature reports that AI arose nine places to the fourth-most popular search term and that search terms machine learning and deep learning appeared in the top 20 for the first time since 2018. It is pertinent for industrial informatics to embrace this renewed surge of interest in AI with a clear direction and purpose that engages scholars, practitioners, and professionals alike.
