Episode notes

i don't see any principled argument that says, 500 years from now, people will still be smarter than machines. I think you've chosen wisely about or your time horizon there. Ais, is a tricky situation. So i wrote this piece in two thousand 12 called moral machines for the orker. Am in n a i am were. That seemed interesting, am, but long form is not the strong point of we have right nowad it won't be for a while.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere around us. Deep-learning algorithms are used to classify images, suggest songs to us, and even to drive cars. But the quest to build truly “human” artificial intelligence is still coming up short. Gary Marcus argues that this is not an accident: the features that make neural networks so powerful also prevent them from developing a robust common-sense view of the world. He advocates combining these techniques with a more symbolic approach to constructing AI algorithms.
