#WeakAI

"... one of the pioneers in the field, Marvin Minsky, defined AI as: '… the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men' (quoted from Bolter, 1986, p. 193). This is sometimes called weak AI. However, many AI researcher have pursued the aim of developing AI that is in principle identical to human intelligence, called strong AI."

@micron @alex @emilymbender Smart systems that compose new stuff from fragments of old stuff is going to be increasingly termed as "AGI" even if it has nothing to do at all with AGI. Some of those systems may be said to be #WeakAI, but that is the limit. Sometimes I wonder whether the error is perpetuated by scholarly researchers themselves, when namedropping AI for their less than smart systems. #artificialintelligence
