The Revolution of AI will be Unsupervised

I attended the ACM Webinar by Yann LeCun  mentioned below.   Well done, about the history and future of AI.   I will point to the slides and audio when they are announced this week.  A great, although often technical Deep Learning and AI.   Too hurried, but still very good if you are willing to go back through it.    A view of the history and predicted future of deep learning.    I think there will be some breakthrough in the addition of 'deep logic' to get reasonably general AI.   And also get better transparency.  Yes, we may get the logic of babies,  but ultimately need to break beyond to that of reasoning adults.  Continue to watch this thread.

Also watching the evolution of intelligence in my granddaughter at age 2, and right, there is lots that is unsupervised.   But you can readily insert so much supervised learning.   And logic does emerge very early and often.

The AI technique that could imbue machines with the ability to reason
Yann LeCun, Facebook’s chief AI scientist, believes unsupervised learning will bring about the next AI revolution.   by Karen Hao

At six months old, a baby won’t bat an eye if a toy truck drives off a platform and seems to hover in the air. But perform the same experiment a mere two to three months later, and she will instantly recognize that something is wrong. She has already learned the concept of gravity.

“Nobody tells the baby that objects are supposed to fall,” said Yann LeCun, the chief AI scientist at Facebook and a professor at NYU, during a webinar on Thursday organized by the Association for Computing Machinery, an industry body. And because babies don’t have very sophisticated motor control, he hypothesizes, “a lot of what they learn about the world is through observation.”  ... "
