"Kurzweil argues that AI is proceeding much faster than people think, and that the development is accelerating. People tend to assume that useful AI will only appear in some distant future, “not in our lifetimes,” when actually we are already living in a world where AI drives many of our trains and airplanes, and a few of our cars. The algorithms that power Google and Bing searches are a form of useful AI, as are voice-based command systems like Siri."

So many people think that "Artificial Intelligence" means computers that can think like humans do, that all of them miss AIs that think like Ants or Parrots. We don't necessarily need "Artificial HIGH intelligence" just artificial intelligence - just enough intelligence to get the job done.
ReplyDeleteEspecially now that linguistics, mapping, object recognition, etc have been compartmentalized and are not really part of "Intelligence" any more, a few simple "if then" statements can build a moderate intelligence that can do most of the simple jobs we need them for.
I blame the "Turing Test" for a lot of wasted effort. We don't need a computer that can fool the most astute of psychologists into thinking it's a human, we just need one that can get our customers to the right department, pick up the stuff that's on the floor, or recognize when to call a human for help.
Of course, it's a great exercise to build more and more intelligence into a system. And we learn so much about our own intelligence in the process... But most of the time we don't need all that.
