- henning 18y agoThe essential defining component of AI to me is an explicit attempt to model or study human cognition/neural processes. A lot of the learning/search stuff being published is a mix of traditional engineering tools (like Kalman filters, used for decades for state estimation) with some kind of search/learning metaheuristic and does not give a flying hoot about being "intelligent".
