  • AI today is extremely large and powerful but often makes simple commonsense mistakes.
  • Scaling up AI alone may not fully solve its lack of robust common sense.
INSIGHT

Common Sense Is AI's Dark Matter

  • Common sense in AI is like dark matter: invisible but influences everything.
  • AI must grasp unspoken rules about the world, not just visible data, to be safe and effective.
ADVICE

  • Train AI with human-crafted datasets and moral norms to teach common sense.
  • Use transparent, inspectable knowledge bases so everyone can review and correct AI's understanding.
