Research Interests

  • Third Wave AI

    We are currently experiencing the Second Wave of AI, dominated by deep learning and statistical, "big data" approaches to AI. But just around the corner, perhaps sooner than many people realize, is the Third Wave of AI.

    Third Wave AI systems will feature dramatic improvements, most notably in their ability for contextual adaptation. They will understand context and meaning, and be able to adapt accordingly. Third Wave AI will not only recognize the cat, but will be able to explain why it's a cat and how it arrived at that conclusion – a giant leap from today's "black box" systems.

  • Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

    Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) refers to machines that can perform any intellectual task that a human can. Also called “strong AI” or “real AI,” AGI represents the “holy grail” and the original goal of artificial intelligence research since the 1950s.
