Finding Judea Pearl's text "Causality" sitting atop the reading stack, I began looking for some way to avoid reading it. So I was delighted to pick up this older (2012) but extremely timely paper by Patrick Henry Winston, which gives his take on several topics:
- the retreat of AI to statistics,
- Brooks subsumption architecture and some pitfalls,
- the limited efficacy of neural networks and
- even a brief discussion of Pearl's previous book("Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent Systems") and work, which provided just enough information to send me in a new direction!
