In their new book, Rebooting AI: Building Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust, professors Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis argue that society is still far away from developing superintelligent machines. The authors argue that researchers will need to endow AI with common sense in order to improve on current AI systems, which rely on statistical analysis and can only perform specific tasks. For example, the authors argue that AI will need to understand concepts such as time, space, and causality. The authors assert researchers can program intelligent machines that understand these concepts to understand general instructions, such as that a robot may not injure a human being.
