Un saggio onesto ed interessante di Rodney Brooks sulla storia (e sul presente ;-) della intelligenza artificiale. Mi ha ricordato da vicino l'intervento di Carlo Batini al seminario del 4 marzo a milano.
Just because someone says they are working on AGI, Artificial General Intelligence, that does not mean they know how to build it, how long it might take, or necessarily be making any progress at all. These lacks have been the historical norm. Certainly the founding researchers in Artificial Intelligence in the 1950’s and 1960’s thought that they were working on key components of general intelligence. But that does not mean they got close to their goal, even when they thought it was not so very far off.
So, journalists, don’t you dare, don’t you dare, come back to me in ten years and say where is that Artificial General Intelligence that we were promised? It isn’t coming any time soon.
