Why Machine Intelligence is so Hard
- a Discussion of the
Difference between Human and Computer Intelligence
This page is under development. The plan is to expand on the material
of the lecture Computers versus
Humans given in November 2002. Currently there are only two sets of
slides from lectures given at Universities during 2008. The following
is a (roughly) common abstract of the two sets.
Abstract: The promise of computer programs that would replicate
general human intelligence has been around for over 60 years but little
progress has been made. In contrast, there has been significant progress
in specific areas such as restricted speech recognition, chess playing,
etc. I will present the argument that human intelligence operates in quite
different ways than computers and it relies on processes that are still
poorly understood. Therefore progress can be made only when a task associated
with human intelligence is reduced to an engineering description, a slow
and hard process but one that has produced results in the past.
