Norvig claims you can make progress in AI using probability theory and statistical analysis (IBM Watson style), and Chomsky is clearly skeptical about that approach. Seems like a conflict to me. I do like Hawkins' ideas, but so far neither he, nor Dileep George has made any significant breakthroughs, and it's been 10 years since "On Intelligence" was published.
