a few comments on "Is AI really dead?". Today, in my view, I
don't see any breakthrough research going on. I no more sumble
across programs which can create poetry, can chat effectively or
can demonstrate novel applications. So I consider AI dead today.
The reason AI is dead because researches, in the past, have
taken a wrong decision that the goal of AI is to *imitate*
humans. By imitation I mean programming a computer to behave
like a human. For example, the turing test involves the testing
of a computer to be able to communicate like humans.
This is nuts!! Do we design air-planes to fly like birds. No!
Then why do we aim the machines to behave like us. Intelligence
itself is an entity which can be approached via n number of
paths. Then, why do we aim to approach it through the most
difficult of paths which is human-like intelligence. Evolution
has taken millions of years to evolve the intelligence. We aim
Business Intelligence Advancements Transform Corporate Decision-MakingCompanies have long considered data collection and analysis to be fundamental activities for long term strategic planning. Before the rise of the Information Age, most decision making was based on guess-work or trial-and-error practices. Businesses seeking to achieve a sustainable advantage over their competition quickly turned to information management systems for detailed data analysis. These systems and methods have evolved to what is now known by the broader term business intelligence or BI .
Business intelligence refers to in-depth analysis of company data for better decision-maki ..
to do achieve the intelligence via same path in relatively
lesser period of time.
I know there is a contradiction of terms. First, I say AI is
dead coz there are no more development into human-like
intelligence. Secondly, I refuse to say that human-like
intelligence is AI. See, AI itself is a very broad concept. It
is more that how you pursue AI rather than what it is.
Human-like intelligence is a form of AI, not vice versa.
So, this death of human-like intelligence is, indeed, very
welcome. It will now let a few budding enthusiasts (myself
included) to experiment alternative routes to AI. By alternative
routes, I mean letting computers themselves decide what
intelligence (according to them) really is. Then use that
intelligence for really cool applications.

So, at last, I would like to conclude this post by saying that
we are really lucky that finally the attempts for programming
human-like intelligence are dead. It had to be someday, but
luckily that day is today.
Good luck!!
