If I wanted to predict the next ten years, I'd bring in Demis Hassabis, Noam Shazeer, and Vincent Vanhoucke, from what I've read of Demis's work, and my interactions with the latter, they seem to have very realistic understanding and are not prone to hype (Demis being the most ambitious of the three, Vincent being the one who actually cracked voice recognition, and Noam because ... his brain is unmatched).
