One of the most vexing problems in even today’s highly capable intelligence systems is for systems to actually understand what they are generating as output. Repeating a pattern, even a sophisticated pattern, while showing good knowledge of the pattern, doesn’t really help if the system doesn’t really understand what it is generating. In this episode of AI Today hosts Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer discuss this DIKUW pyramid and why the “U” understanding level is a critical, but often left out, layer of the pyramid.
