Somewhere I heard a saying that goes something like "AI is machine intelligence we don't quite understand. Once you've figured it out, it is no longer AI, it is an algorithm."
- endtime 18y agoI don't find that especially convincing - there is no machine intelligence we don't understand, since we have created all of it. I would say that AI includes a few classes of algorithms related to solving certain types of problems (detection, planning, concept abstraction), or perhaps related to certain techniques for solving problems (heuristic search, ML, vision, etc.).
- blogimus 18y agoIf your only talking about machine intelligence that we've already created, then of course we already understand that. I was talking about the concept of machine intelligence and problems that we would like to solve and are trying to solve with machine intelligence, but haven't solved yet. Once we solve a machine intelligence problem, we tend to call it an algorithm or a technique rather than machine intelligence.
