Title
On the thresholds of knowledge
Abstract
Abstract We articulate the three major fmdings of AI to date: (1) The Knowledge,Principle: if a program,is to perform a complex task well, it must know a great deal about the world in which it operates. (2) A plausible extension of that principle, called the Breadth Hypothesis: there are two additional abilities necessary for intelligent behavior in unexpected,situations: falling back on increasingly general knowledge, and analogizing to specific but far-flung knowledge.,(3) AI as Empirical Inquiry: we must test our ideas experimentally, on large problems. Each of these three hypotheses proposes a particular threshold to cross, which leads to a qualitative change,in emergent intelligence. Together, they determine a direction for future AI research. 1.
