| Video Title:
| Computers versus Common Sense
|
| Description:
| From Google TechTalks. Dr. Douglas Lenat, President and CEO of Cycorp, talks about common sense: "It's way past 2001 now, where the heck is HAL? ... What's been holding AI up? The short answer is that while computers make fine idiot savants, they lack common sense: the millions of pieces of general knowledge we all share, and fall back on as needed, to cope with the rough edges of the real world. I will talk about how that situation is changing, finally, and what the timetable -- and the path -- realistically are on achieving Artificial Intelligence."
