While today\u2019s AI can do some extraordinary things, the functionality underlying its accomplishments works by analyzing massive data sets and looking for patterns and correlations <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bdtechtalks.com\/2021\/03\/15\/machine-learning-causality\/\">without understanding the data it is processing<\/a>. As a result, an AI system relying on today\u2019s AI algorithms and requiring thousands of tagged samples only gives the appearance of intelligence. It lacks any real, common sense understanding.

This turned out to be false.<\/p>\n<p>In 1988, Carnegie Mellon roboticist Hans Moravec wrote, \u201cIt is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult-level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility.\u201d In other words, the difficult problems turn out to be simpler to solve and what appear to be simple problems can be prohibitively difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Two other assumptions which played a prominent role in AI development have also proven to be false:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 First, it was assumed that if enough <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bdtechtalks.com\/2020\/04\/09\/what-is-narrow-artificial-intelligence-ani\/\">narrow AI applications<\/a> (i.e., applications which can solve a specific problem using AI techniques) were built, they would grow together into a form of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bdtechtalks.com\/2020\/05\/13\/what-is-artificial-general-intelligence-agi\/\">general intelligence<\/a>. Narrow AI applications, however, don\u2019t store information in a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ized form and can\u2019t be used by other narrow AI applications to expand their breadth. So while stitching together applications for, say, language processing and image processing might be possible, those apps cannot be integrated in the same way that a child integrates hearing and vision.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Second, some AI researchers assumed that if a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bdtechtalks.com\/2019\/11\/25\/ai-research-neural-networks-compute-costs\/\">big enough machine learning<\/a> system with enough computer power could be built, it would spontaneously exhibit general intelligence. As expert systems that attempted to capture the knowledge of a specific field have clearly demonstrated, it is simply impossible to create enough cases and example data to overcome a system\u2019s underlying lack of understanding.<\/p>\n<p>If the AI industry knows that the key assumptions it made in development have turned out to be false, why hasn\u2019t anyone taken the necessary steps to move past them in a way that advances true thinking in AI? The answer is likely found in AI\u2019s principal competitor: let\u2019s call her Sally. She\u2019s about three years old and already knows lots of things no AI does and can solve problems no AI can. When you stop to think about it, many of the problems that we have with AI today are things any three-year-old could do.<\/p>\n<p>Think of the knowledge necessary for Sally to stack a group of blocks. At a fundamental level, Sally understands blocks or any other physical objects) exist in a 3D world. She knows they persist even when she can\u2019t see them. She knows innately that they have a set of physical properties like weight and shape and color. She knows she can\u2019t stack more blocks on top of a round, rolly one. She understands causality and the passage of time. She knows she has to build a tower of blocks first before she can knock it over.<\/p>\n<p>What does Sally have to do with the AI industry? Sally has what today\u2019s AI lacks. She possesses <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bdtechtalks.com\/2020\/06\/01\/artificial-intelligence-computer-vision-fpicu\/\">situational awareness and contextual understanding<\/a>. Sally\u2019s biological brain is capable of interpreting everything it encounters in the context of everything else it has previously learned. More importantly, three-year-old Sally will grow to become four years old, and five years old, and 10 years old, and so on. In short, three-year-old Sally <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bdtechtalks.com\/2021\/08\/16\/self-assembling-brain-book\/\">innately possesses the capabilities to grow<\/a> into a fully functioning, intelligent adult.<\/p>\n<p>In stark contrast, AI analyzes massive data sets looking for patterns and correlations without understanding any of the data it is processing. Even the recent <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bdtechtalks.com\/2019\/10\/28\/neuromorphic-chips-artificial-intelligence\/\">\u201cneuromorphic\u201d chips<\/a> rely on capabilities absent in biology.<\/p>\n<p>For today\u2019s AI to overcome its inherent limitations and evolve into its next phase \u2013 defined as artificial general intelligence (AGI) \u2013 it must be able to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human can. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bdtechtalks.com\/2020\/08\/05\/artificial-you-susan-schneider\/\">It must attain consciousness<\/a>. Doing so will enable it to consistently grow its intelligence and abilities in the same way that a human three-year-old grows to possess the intelligence of a four-year-old, and eventually a 10-year-old, a 20-year-old, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the research required to shed light on what ultimately will be needed to replicate the contextual understanding of the human brain, enabling AI to attain true consciousness, is highly unlikely to receive funding. Why not? Quite simply, no one\u2014at least no one to date\u2014has been willing to put millions of dollars and years of development into an AI application that can do what any three-year-old can do.<\/p>\n<p>And that inevitably brings us back to the conclusion that today\u2019s artificial intelligence really isn\u2019t all that intelligent. Of course, that won\u2019t stop numerous AI companies from bragging that their AI applications \u201cwork just like your brain.\u201d But the truth is that they would be closer to the mark if they admitted their apps are based on a single algorithm \u2013 backpropagation \u2013 and represent a powerful statistical method. Unfortunately, the truth is just not as interesting as \u201cworks like your brain.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-richText c-richText--large\">\n<em>This article was originally published by Ben Dickson on<span>\u00a0<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bdtechtalks.com\/\">TechTalks<\/a>, a publication that examines trends in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>, how they affect the way we live and do business, and the problems they solve.
