Paradigms in Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence includes a number of different strategies for how to make machines more intelligent, and often more human-like, in their ability to learn and solve problems. An ambitious group of researchers is working right now to classify all the approaches to AI, perhaps as a first step toward unifying these approaches and move closer to strong AI. In this episode, we'll touch on some of the most provocative work in many different subfields of artificial intelligence, and their strengths and weaknesses.
