Toward a Broad AI

 
Originally published in Communications of the ACM, April 2022, Vol. 65 No. 4, Pages 56-57

Despite big successes in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning, there have been critical assessments made to current deep learning methods.8 Deep learning is data hungry, has limited knowledge transfer capabilities, does not quickly adapt to changing tasks or distributions, and insufficiently incorporates world or prior knowledge.1,3,8,14 While deep learning excels in natural language processing and vision benchmarks, it often underperforms at real-world applications. Deep learning models were shown to fail at new data, new applications, deployments in the wild, and stress tests.4,5,7,13,15 Therefore, practitioners harbor doubt over these models and hesitate to employ them in real-world application.

Current AI research has tried to overcome the criticisms and limitations of deep learning. AI research and machine learning in particular aims at a new level of AI—a “broad AI”—with considerably enhanced and broader capabilities for skill acquisition and problem solving.3 We contrast “broad AI” to “narrow AI,” which are the AI systems currently applied. A broad AI considerably surpasses a narrow AI in the following essential properties: knowledge transfer and interaction, adaptability and robustness, abstraction and advanced reasoning, and efficiency (as illustrated in the accompanying figure). A broad AI is a sophisticated and adaptive system, which successfully performs any cognitive task by virtue of its sensory perception, previous experience, and learned skills.

  1. What you’ve shared is quite helpful, so please accept my gratitude. That’s the part I’m most coreball curious about. Here’s a chance to enjoy yourself if you’re a fan of amusements like myself.

     
  2. Sepp Hochreiter’s paper highlights the limitations of deep learning in artificial intelligence (AI), such as its reliance on large data sets and limited knowledge transfer. He proposes the concept of “broad AI”, which is superior to “narrow AI”, with better adaptability and reasoning capabilities slice master. This highlights the need for research to develop AI systems that can perform a variety of cognitive tasks more effectively.
