Download or read book Machines like Us written by Ronald J. Brachman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we can create artificial intelligence with broad, robust common sense rather than narrow, specialized expertise. It’s sometime in the not-so-distant future, and you send your fully autonomous self-driving car to the store to pick up your grocery order. The car is endowed with as much capability as an artificial intelligence agent can have, programmed to drive better than you do. But when the car encounters a traffic light stuck on red, it just sits there—indefinitely. Its obstacle-avoidance, lane-following, and route-calculation capacities are all irrelevant; it fails to act because it lacks the common sense of a human driver, who would quickly figure out what’s happening and find a workaround. In Machines like Us, Ron Brachman and Hector Levesque—both leading experts in AI—consider what it would take to create machines with common sense rather than just the specialized expertise of today’s AI systems. Using the stuck traffic light and other relatable examples, Brachman and Levesque offer an accessible account of how common sense might be built into a machine. They analyze common sense in humans, explain how AI over the years has focused mainly on expertise, and suggest ways to endow an AI system with both common sense and effective reasoning. Finally, they consider the critical issue of how we can trust an autonomous machine to make decisions, identifying two fundamental requirements for trustworthy autonomous AI systems: having reasons for doing what they do, and being able to accept advice. Both in the end are dependent on having common sense.

In addition, the variety of events and situations in the text keeps the reader’s attention, providing an opportunity to fully immerse oneself in the story and develop an emotional bond with the characters, each characterized by unique psychological nuances. Thanks to a narrative made of detailed, descriptive prose, Wyborn’s work provides a vivid view of the environment and the emotions of the characters. The variety of narrative techniques allows for full immersion in the story through visual and sensory details that create an engaging atmosphere. After leaving art school, Ray Wyborn worked as a commercial artist servicing advertising agencies and several other clients. When his eldest son was made redundant from a London studio, they worked together in a partnership that saw them working for Marks and Spencer as well as leading advertising agencies. He started writing in the late seventies and has continued to this day. Encouraged by his peers, he has finally taken the plunge to publish his work and test the water. His interest in model engineering resulted in numerous articles for the Model Railway Press. So far, he has written five novels but only finished three, so there is still a lot to do.
