Resumen de It's just common sense
Pong is a gloriously simple video game: one controls one paddle, aiming to bounce the ball past one's opponent's paddle. Artificial intelligence (AI) has learned to play it so well that it can easily beat human players. But try to get the same AI to play Breakout, a very similar paddle-based game, and it is utterly stumped. This problem dogs modem artificial intelligence. Computers can learn without human guidance, but the knowledge they acquire is meaningless beyond the problem they are set. Adee details how AI researchers are working on a way around this problem using an old, unfashionable technique called symbolic AI.
