Do you know that Elephants do not play chess?
Now before you start thingking out loud; what a stupstupid question!?
The term is title of a very a very famous paper written by Rodney Brooks of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Brooks introduces Nouvell AI, also called fundamentalist AI!
In the paper Brooks challenged the traditional symbolic approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and proposed an alternative based on physical grounding and interaction.
He argued that the traditional approach, built upon the “symbol system hypothesis” which assumes intelligence operates on a system of symbols, had limitations. Brooks’ alternative, which he dubbed “Nouvelle AI”, emphasizes building intelligence from individual behavior-generating modules that interact with the real world through sensors and actuators.
He argued that this approach removes the need for symbolic representations because the world itself serves as the best model
Like you; the whole thing went over my head like a hot knife goes over a wad of warm butter!
So the simplest way of expalining the concept is that even the best ROBOTS of today may have supreme intelligence but don’t have the dexterity of a two year old kid!
We recently got a new Toy which is a case in point! To escape the hassle of a real pet, this was a toy doggie with more than sixty sounds and actions! This inlcudes eye movements and neck movements! But all said and done, it is still a toy! To replace the real thing will take ages or may be never!
One real thing I simply love which is human and not AI are the eyes! Of course some eyes I love more than the other! Even if I am an ENT specialist; I do believe that eyes are the mirror to your soul!
Another beautiful eye!
Now close yours!
Shubh ratri!
