For AI to grow up, it needs to learn on its own

In contrast, despite remarkable recent advances, artificial intelligence systems still rely disproportionately and often wholly on learning with supervision. And even the most knowledgeable AI agents can lack the ability to apply common sense reasoning. For example, a question such as "how long would it take to swim to the moon?" may elicit an "I don't know" instead of "you cannot swim to the moon." In seeking to advance AI to the next level of performance, researchers today are starting to explore foundational elements of generalizability and autonomous learning. For example, recently they've been exploring increasingly larger neural network models for language processing and computer vision tasks.
