How we can create artificial intelligence with broad, robust common sense rather than narrow, specialized expertise.

Its sometime in the not-so-distant future, and you send your fully autonomous self-driving car to the store to pick up your grocery order. The car is endowed with as much capability as an artificial intelligence agent can have, programmed to drive better than you do. But when the car encounters a traffic light stuck on red, it just sits thereindefinitely. Its obstacle-avoidance, lane-following, and route-calculation capacities are all irrelevant; it fails to act because it lacks the common sense of a human driver, who would quickly figure out whats happening and find a workaround. In Machines like Us, Ron Brachman and Hector Levesqueboth leading experts in AIconsider what it would take to create machines with common sense rather than just the specialized expertise of todays AI systems.

Using the stuck traffic light and other relatable examples, Brachman and Levesque offer an accessible account of how common sense might be built into a machine. They analyze common sense in humans, explain how AI over the years has focused mainly on expertise, and suggest ways to endow an AI system with both common sense and effective reasoning. Finally, they consider the critical issue of how we can trust an autonomous machine to make decisions, identifying two fundamental requirements for trustworthy autonomous AI systems: having reasons for doing what they do, and being able to accept advice. Both in the end are dependent on having common sense.

Review

"Machines Like Us provides a fresh perspective on potential areas of research, courtesy of two scientists who have been deeply involved in artificial intelligence since the 1970s."
Ben Dickson, TechTalks

Review

Machines like Us explains, lucidly and insightfully, why current AI systems hopelessly lack common sense, why they desperately need it, and how they can get it.
Ernest Davis, Professor of Computer Science, New York University

Brachman and Levesque explain in accessible and entertaining detail what common sense entails and what approaches might work for giving it to machines. Essential reading for anyone interested in AI or in intelligence in general.
Melanie Mitchell, Davis Professor of Complexity, Santa Fe Institute; author of Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans --This text refers to the hardcover edition.
