Please construct a list of the top 20 most popular articles on Artificial Intelligence in 2017, along with popularity statistics.
The most popular 2017 articles on artificial intelligence include overviews of the technology and its subsections, opinion pieces on the risks and opportunities associated with AI, interviews with famous people revolving around the topic, and news about recent advancements or most interesting applications of AI. The most trending issue, repeated in many of the most shared pieces, was Facebook shutting down its artificial intelligence after it developed its own language. Below you will find a deep dive of my methodology and findings.
METHODOLOGY
I looked into different possible metrics for measuring the popularity of articles. As views or reads could only be determined for specific websites, I chose the number of shares as the main criterion.
Most tools for finding trending content are either paid or offer a limited number of results in the free versions. To compile the list of 20 most popular articles, I combined the free results from Buzzsumo and Social Animal.
I excluded articles that are almost identical to another position on the list. For example, there were several pieces on Facebook shutting down its AI, but they didn't provide added value to the one from The Epoch Times. Therefore, I assumed they won't be useful for you.
I provided you with the overall number of shares of each article, as well as statistics for three key social media platforms. Please note that both Buzzsumo and Social Animal only give rounded numbers.
