The AI Chasers

Pay attention to some of the sharpest minds in the entire tool shed as they
share with us, their view of our future along with the future of AI, robots, NLP
and other subjects near and dear to most members' hearts.

@TrueAndroids, I liked Barney Pell's topic and explanation of AI / NLP as it
ties in with a lot of your efforts.

Good stuff!

Great link Art. I particularly found Pell interesting.

Also noticed Brooks raised the bar for general AI to what amounts to a complete robotic artificial human.

(Rodney Brooks, Former Director, the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.  CTO, iRobot.)

Futurist: What would you say is the principal obstacle before general AI?

 Brooks: It's nice to think of it in terms of being a single technical hurdle. But, I don't believe that's the case. There's a whole raft of things we don't understand yet. We don't understand how to organize it, we don't understand what its purpose is. We don't understand how to connect to perception, we don't understand how to connect it to action. We've made lots of progress in AI. We've got lots of AI systems out there that affect our everyday lives all the time. But general AI, its early days, early, early days.
