“The way to enable robots to deal with unstructured environments is to equip them with the ability to learn. Think about it — programming every possible scenario would take forever.”
There’s something self reflexive about our attempts to help the machines we create learn like humans learn. Is learning something that can be abstracted enough to apply whether it’s a machine/robot, or human, doing it?
And when human learning is assisted by machines/robots, are we learning how machines think?
We have some conventional ways of thinking about AI, and robots, and machines, and learning, that will likely be challenged by new perspectives in the coming years, or months. New ways of understanding the extensions of man are likely on the way.
