Scientists have found a flaw in the computer processes collectively known as Artificial Intelligence (AI). Remarkably, a giant in the industry, Apple, has published their work. To say the least, it calls into question the machine-dominated future that many so-called experts see coming.
Knowledge and Intelligence
In many minds, knowledge and intelligence are synonyms. In reality, they are not the same. Knowledge is an accumulation of facts and information. Intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge. While at first glance, that may seem a distinction without a real difference, the two are distinct. Perhaps a less cerebral way to describe that disparity is the sentence, “He knows a lot of facts, but he lacks common sense.”
Facts are impersonal. They are the same for each individual. For instance, a mile is 5,280 feet, whether the person traveling that mile is a small child, an athlete or a jet pilot. How each of them applies that information, a function of intelligence, is very different. For the child, the distance may appear insurmountable. The athlete sees it as a matter of a very few minutes, while for the pilot, it goes by in fractions of a second.
