Human-level artificial
intelligence? Be serious!
Nils J. Nilsson
AI Goes to Work
• Turing test does not constitute an
appropriate or useful criterion for
human-level AI
• Employment test
– the tasks or “jobs” at which people are
employed.
The Challenge
• “Education Direct”
– (web site)
• Exam
Habile System
• general purpose
– able to learn any of a wide variety of different skills.
• to become specialists
• “we should rely only on that system’s experience, its
learning abilities, and human tutoring to progress to
the next level”
• “I don’t expect building habile systems to be easy or
that they will be achievable in the next several years”
The “Child Machine”
• like onion
• from the core to outer layer
• “We learn how to learn, and we acquire
skills that are employed in the service of
acquiring more skills, and so on”
Core suggestions
• Sensory-Motor System
• Hierarchies of Perception, Representation,
and Action
• Predicting and Planning
• Learning
• Reasoning and Representation
• Language
