AI's future: The human-computer fox trot
With artificial intelligence marking its 50th anniversary, it's tempting to recall how the technology has proven to be overhyped.
But at the American Association for Artificial Intelligence annual meeting this week, AI evangelists were touting ways that a confluence of factors could put computer learning at the heart of a smoother-running world.
One reason for uneven AI progress over the years was the vast amount of resources devoted to building "expert" systems to handle specific tasks, such as routing flights. Not only were such systems "brittle" outside of their field of expertise, but traditionally they had to be manually taught reams of information.
