I am pretty sure that symbolic AI will be a distant memory by then.

Symbolic AI perhaps; hybrid symbolic and connectionist systems will be around for a very very very long time. My interests lie in systems engineering, and for me an AI will always be just a component.

I think that you could say that intelligence is the ability to make an arbitrary program. Strong AI is equivalent to machines writing code to solve every problem that can be solved by writing code.

(This why I think that AI is not going to be just a "component" of software engineering, or why the code that solves problems in the future is not going to be symbolic or connectionist, but really any kind of solution that performs the required computation.

I think I agree with you...but im talking moreso about systems engineering; no doubt that software engineering will need to undergo transformation.

Hm, I think of all engineered systems as software, but perhaps that is a distorted perspective.

This is what I call software intensive systems. Still, demonstrate for me how an ANN might - better than a symbolic approach - manage the inventory of containers aboard a ship, the path of aircraft over a city, the credit card transactions of a billion customers.

Theoretical an ANN could do so; pragmatically we have symbolic software and hardware infrastructures that we have optimized to just that, and so the pragmatic engineer in me says I use the parts that best fit my need.

Theoretically, an ANN can compute any computable function, practically we let it do forward chains of weighted sums mapped against a scaling function, and teach it laboriously by changing weights according to the chain rule. That is going to look a bit ridiculous in hindsight.

Indeed; even with classical computation, we’ve come a long way from when women such as Jean Bartik used plugboards.

All computation is classical computation, no? Or do you refer to different types of hardware?

Oh, I meant symbolic. Yeah, I muddied the water there.
