Pop-cultural representations of artificial intelligence abound – from HAL 9000 and War Games to Iron Man and Wall-E. Michael J. Fox and the Jetsons had us dreaming of flying cars alongside impossibly nearsighted visions of Cosmo Spacely hunched over a circa-1987 computer terminal. Which aspects of our collectively imagined future are on their way to becoming a reality, and what will forever remain the stuff of Hollywood panache? But what is actually possible today, and what emerging technologies are making their way into mainstream use?

Personalization technologies are all over the web now, with applications everywhere offering recommendations for movies, music, video, blogs and most anything else we might like online. Do any of these systems work, and if so how? Is “Discovery” the next “Search,” or just an excuse for behavioral targeting systems that compromise privacy? Finally… If you’re a site publisher interested in adding personalized recommendations, how do you pick a partner to help you get there, or strike out on your own and get the feature built????
