AI Beyond Machine Learning: What’s Next/Better? Why? How?

Description:

Alternative AI approaches will overcome the limitations in accuracy, generality, energy consumption, and the need for massive training data of machine learning (ML). Neuro-symbolic AI combines neural networks with symbolic systems to create robust and trustworthy AI models. Active inference AI is a neuroscientific approach that learns and acts in real-time with less data and energy. Cognitive frameworks for artificial general intelligence (AGI) will tackle complex, real-world problems. Learn why and how these methods will revolutionize industries and transform our understanding of AI!

Takeaways

  1. Understand the strengths and fundamental limitations of traditional ML approaches and the constraints these limitations impose on their capabilities.
  2. Understand the nature of alternative AI approaches, how they are potentially superior to discriminative ML, and why they haven’t replaced ML yet.
  3. Understand current ideas about what AGI is, why ML methods likely cannot achieve it, and why new methods are needed to potentially achieve it.
