Title: AI’s Challenge of Understanding the World
Abstract:
I will survey a debate in the artificial intelligence (AI) research
community on the extent to which current AI systems can be said to
“understand” language and the physical and social situations language
encodes. I will describe arguments that have been made for and against such
understanding, hypothesize about what humanlike understanding entails, and
discuss what methods can be used to fairly evaluate understanding in AI
systems.
*A reception with light refreshments will follow each Talk in The Center on
the 11th floor from 5-6pm.*
