      Excellent, straightforward illustration of why common sense is currently lacking in #AI, why it is so important to add it and why it is so difficult. Highly recommended read by @GaryMarcus #machinelearning #DeepLearninghttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ais-hardest-problem-developing-common-sense-gary-marcus/ …

      If your AI solution needs common sense to be effective, then you are asking the wrong questions and using the wrong technology.

      if you can solve the problems in reading and robotics and ethics that we describe in http://rebooting.ai  without common sense, I am all ears. but this reads as a shallow dismissal, in that it does not engage in a single example and show an alternative solution.

      I don't argue that you can solve them without common sense. I argue that we don't need robotics and AI to do the things you describe in your examples. It is just tech for tech's sake.

      how about reading? you could pick on the particular examples, but we absolutely need reading and you can't do it without common sense.

      I can read fine without AI. Having AI comprehend a text is a nice tech problem - with little practical upshot - and would bring with it a host of ethical issues.

      think you could build ethical AI that is illiterate, and with so little common sense that it can't compute harm? or that you can build AI that can actually help solve medical research problems that have eluded humans because of the complexity of the molecular interactions?

          I don't want my AI to be ethical. Ethics is for humans. Any reduction of ethics to code is inherently confused (see https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11948-018-0030-8 … for more).

          And I don't know why you would need common sense for the latter...
