I studied AI at the Batchelors level and have from time to time read up on the discoveries. I think the problem is still the same as a decade ago despite all of the sparkling discoveries made in the meantime. We can't define the problem. We can make a really broad and concise description of what it is supposed to do, but that's not the same as defining the problem. Maybe that's not as relevant as I felt it would be (I was of the opinion back then and still am that AGI is not arriving in our or our children's lifetime). Perhaps we will stumble upon it. That is at least how we arrived at our faculties. Nature tried a billion different combinations and we are the current incarnation of matter trying to figure itself out.
