IBM, MIT, and Three Critical Processes Changing Our AI Future

#artificialintelligence 

Like the IBM researcher who presented on a joint project between IBM and MIT to create smarter AIs, I'm not a fan of the term AI. But don't get me started on naming because, when I did it, I discovered a new rule and that rule is that "the only thing folks will agree on when it comes to a new name is that the poor sap that came up with it is an idiot." Still to me something is either intelligent or not and if you are going to define a class of intelligence you likely should connect it to the source like human intelligence, animal intelligence, or, in this case, Machine Intelligence. Our current AI technology level is stupid. We call it Narrow AI, but it means the AI can do one of a limited number of highly defined tasks somewhat autonomously.
