The Next Decade in AI: Four Steps Towards Robust Artificial Intelligence

Gary Marcus

Abstract

Recent research in artificial intelligence and machine learning has largely emphasized general-purpose learning and ever-larger training sets and more and more compute. In contrast, I propose a hybrid, knowledge-driven, reasoning-based approach, centered around cognitive models, that could provide the substrate for a richer, more robust AI than is currently possible.

    • For a rather complete view of what deep learning still does not do, I recommend the work of Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis. While seeming solely critical, I think they make very good points about the limits inherent in deep learning as we know it now, and how it needs to grow to…
