Artificial General Intelligence: Why Aren’t We There Yet?
All purpose, all-powerful AI systems, capable of catering to our every intellectual need, have been promised for six decades, but thus far still not arrived. What will it take to bring AI to something like human-level intelligence? And why haven’t we gotten there already? Scientist, author, and entrepreneur Gary Marcus (Founder and CEO of Geometric Intelligence, recently acquired by Uber) explains why deep learning is overrated, and what we need to do next to achieve genuine artificial intelligence.
