Widely believed among the general population or among AI researchers? The former may be true and probably has been true for the past 30 years :)
As for the latter, researchers by nature are more cynical, but I do think that the confluence of big data, cloud computing, deep nets, and integrated solutions such as Watson, have brought a new sense of optimism to the field that hasn't existed in maybe 30 years. Just my opinion. Denver On Aug 21, 2013, at 11:54 AM, "Richard E.

The theme of the book is predicated on the statement that "it is widely believed that in the next 10 to 100 years scientists will succeed in creating human level artificial general intelligence." There is no research that gives me any reason to believe this. In my recent AI textbook I took the stance that we have essentially failed at this endeavor. Does anyone know of any research that would make someone make such a statement? Thanks, Rich -- Richard E.
