What roles knowledge bases play now and will play in the future?

First of all, I would like to point out the main differences between knowledge base and (Deep) machine learning, specially when the main focus is on "AI" not "Data Science": NNs are like a black box; ...

How can an AI system develop its domain knowledge? Is there more than just Machine Learning?

Well, we are talking about a system (a machine) which develops knowledge (learns), so it is kind of difficult for such a technique to not fall within machine learning. But you could argue that ...
