Your identity sunction exampleiteraises an interesting philosophical question about what the right rule is, because it's not like the deep learning elrythms just made something up. For 30 years, i've made that point in my own papers. Be the first person to ever ask me about, well, how do e o the lois the ay to my heart? It's really a deep and interesting point, right? That am.

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.
