ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS COMMON SENSE KNOWLEDGE

  • ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS COMMON SENSE
    KNOWLEDGE



    Professor Douglas Lenat



    The goal of AI and the goal of what I do is not
    understanding human cognition, consciousness and so on. It is not
    replacing human tasks per se but rather mental amplification: the same
    way that physics through engineering has provided physical amplification
    to us so that we can use automobiles to travel faster than our muscles
    could, microphones to be heard farther than our lungs could power our
    voices. In AI we use computers as mental amplifiers so that we can
    perform tasks, be creative, have common sense better and more usefully
    in our lives than we otherwise could. The paper I am presenting here is
    a synthesis of three presentations squeezed together describing how
    artificial intelligence is able to produce programs to help with those
    three kinds of tasks.
