Limitations of AI

Max Jamilly, a PhD student at the University of Oxford, Fintan Nagle, a cognitive neuroscientist at UCL, and Charles Ross, Chairman of the Brain Mind Forum, discuss a new era of human and machine symbiosis for artificial intelligence.

Limitations of AI

The promise of AI with its breathtaking range of applications seems to be without limits. To elaborate on limitations of AI may therefore be perceived by some of our readers as a spin in opposite directions.

Summary:

Abstract

The paper contributes to the development of the theory of AI-Completeness by formalizing the notion of AI-Complete and AI-Hard problems. The intended goal is to provide a classification of problems in the field of General Artificial Intelligence. We prove Turing Test to be an instance of an AI-Complete problem and further show numerous AI problems to be AI-Complete or AI-Hard via polynomial time reductions. Finally, the paper suggests some directions for future work on the theory of AI-Completeness. Keywords: AI-Complete, AI-Easy, AI-Hard, Human
