A New Direction In AI Research
Monica Anderson proposes adding a new target to ongoing AI research efforts: We need to focus more of our attention on Understanding as opposed to Reasoning. Understanding requires using Model Free Methods. As a bonus towards the end, Ms. Anderson also speculates about the so-called AI singularity and discusses whether SkyNet like scenarios, where computers take over the world, are plausible.
Mechanical manipulation of formulas, even in the most strictly logical contexts require intuition-based guidance in order to progress towards a goal, such as simplification.
...
Intuition is an invisible but non-mystical process....
Intuition is fallible, that is why it is not a good basis to use in science...
Intuition is the art of guessing wisely, based on a lifetime of gathered experience, stored as patterns...
Monica Anderson
Does it make sense to you?
Why does the mind enjoy #simplicity? Because once you get it (conceptual understanding), things do get simple.
