No matter what accomplishments are made, there will always be someone shouting that it's not really AI or it isn't really progress. It's impossible to argue against. Until we finally pass the very last goal post, and then it's too late.
- jacquesm 12y agoNo, it isn't the same thing. Those things that we now group under machine learning and applied statistics are not general artificial intelligence, they are narrow applications of statistical methods but they are not generally applicable intelligence. It's still 'programmer directed' and that's the key difference. As soon as the programmer is no longer required to string the pieces together you have something that has the potential to cross over the barrier. Generalized pattern matching is a tool in the toolbox of an AI but it is not AI by itself and there may be work-arounds to AI which do not require generalized pattern matching (that's an interesting one, requiring a bit of a trick in that you if you could generate a specialized pattern matcher on demand that you don't need a generalized one).
- Houshalter 12y agoFor all we know actual neurons are just implementing "simple narrow statistical algorithms", just really big and highly tuned by evolution. Based on what I know about neuroscience I strongly bet that's the case. Define "programmer directed". There are neural networks that can do reinforcement learning and play video games which are very general.
