Gary Marcus, a prominent figure in AI, “is on a mission to instill a breath of fresh air to a discipline he sees as in danger of stagnating.” He offers 4 “needs” for Robust AI:
- Use deep learning in conjunction with Classical AI by representing abstract knowledge, sentences or abstractions
- Have large scale knowledge
- Be able to reason about these things
- Cognitive models — things inside our brain or inside of computers that tell us about the relations between the entities that we see around us in the world. Link
