Idiot or genius? Mitchell M.

Over the 65 years that passed after the Dartmut seminar, which laid the foundation for the development of artificial intelligence, many breakthroughs have been committed in this area, but it is still far from creating a machine with a “human” intelligence. Today, AI recognizes images and transfers speech, controls unmanned vehicles, beats a person into chess and go, but is not yet able to transfer skills to new tasks, can confuse salt with road markings, and the bus with ostrich. Melanie Mitchell, one of the leading informatics scientists, introduces the reader to the history of the development of AI and the principles of his work, talks about the main problems of its application and the prospects for creating AI of the “human level”.
