Artificial Intelligence, limited by input, not a game changer: scholars
Berlin
NOT much time passes these days between so-called major advancements in artificial intelligence. Yet researchers are not much closer than they were decades ago to the big goal: actually replicating human intelligence. That's the most surprising revelation by a team of eminent scholars who just released the first in what is meant to be a series of annual reports on the state of AI (artificial intelligence).
The report is a great opportunity to finally recognise that the current methods we now know as AI and deep learning do not qualify as "intelligent". They are based on the "brute force" of computers and limited by the quantity and quality of available training data. Many experts agree.
