Just to add a bit about the point of the "AI winter reality check" X "Stephen Hawkings hype", I think both are right and wrong at the same time: I do believe that the analisis of the human reasoning and its simulation in computers can be achieved with much less computing power than that needed by most insects sensorial systems(so in this sense agree with Moravec, but...). The computing power can accelerate learning in a system, but its a question of time and nothing more, it doesnt matter really if you take a week or a year to "set-train-load" a reasoning human level AI, the achievement would be amazing anyway. So is the mistake, in my opinion, of all the wave-of-hype's direction: neural nets is just for acceleration and generation of datasets(what you say!? yes, generation, thats what they are really for, totally contrarilly to the world's opinion : ) !!! ) and , obviously for the "lesser utility" of sensorial system autonomous programming, that is what they are using it for right now, but it have nothing to do with "Reasoning Intelligence", that would be, in ma humble opinion, lets say, a programm that could take part and give some insigthful contribution in the famous talk between Albert Einstein and Rabindranath Tagore.[1] That said, I do belive a non-neural net "real deal" AI is just around the corner, not that far, really, and here maybe I do tend a bit to the "Hawkings-hype" people, but completely differently from them, I do believe it has nothing to do with neural nets(that are just tools), and are...lets say: "non-neural networks heuristic based".
