Intelligence Without Reason
Open accessAbstract
The new approaches that have been developed recently for artificial intelligence (AI) arose from work with mobile robots. This chapter outlines the context within which this work arose and discusses some key realizations made by the researchers involved. It traces the development of the foundational ideas for AI, and how they were intimately linked to the technology available for computation. The chapter provides a brief overview of developments in the understanding of biological intelligence. It covers material from ethology, psychology, and neuroscience. The chapter also introduces the two cornerstones to the new approach to AI, situatedness and embodiment, and discusses both intelligence and emergence in these contexts. It outlines some details of the approach of group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology to building complete situated, embodied, artificially intelligent robots. This approach shares more heritage with biological systems than with what is usually called AI.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
