Toward a Broad AI

Despite big successes in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning, there have been critical assessments made to current deep learning methods.8 Deep learning is data hungry, has limited knowledge transfer capabilities, does not quickly adapt to changing tasks or distributions, and insufficiently incorporates world or prior knowledge.1,3,8,14 While deep learning excels in natural language processing and vision benchmarks, it often underperforms at real-world applications. Deep learning models were shown to fail at new data, new applications, deployments in the wild, and stress tests.4,5,7,13,15 Therefore, practitioners harbor doubt over these models and hesitate to employ them in real-world application.
