Artificial Expert Intelligence through PAC-reasoning

What does it take to be a great scientist or domain expert? Beyond technical skills and mastery of domain-specific tools--where AI already excels--there is an elusive quality that distinguishes leading human experts: actual intelligence, as manifested by the ability to innovatively synthesize knowledge, while at the same time think critically in the sense of separating correct from incorrect statements and acknowledging the boundaries of knowledge. As a result, great scientists and experts advance humanity by solving novel problems. This paper introduces Artificial Expert Intelligence (AEI) as a new paradigm that combines current AI's knowledge and skills with the intelligence characteristic of top human experts. We propose a concrete, constructive definition of AEI which provides a blueprint for building AEI systems.
