Despite the hype surrounding AI, creating an intelligence that rivals or exceeds human levels is far more complicated than we have been led to believe. The achievements in the field thus far have occurred in closed systems with fixed sets of rules, and these approaches are too narrow to achieve genuine intelligence. The real world, in contrast, is wildly complex and open-ended. Gary Marcus’s Rebooting AI (Pantheon) (coauthored by Ernest Davis) provides a clear-eyed assessment of the current science and offers an inspiring vision of how a new generation of AI can make our lives better.
