GRADUALISM. “It’s not like the physical sciences. There are no breakthroughs in AI. Certainly not in the 15 years that I’ve been going to conferences. There are things which come to the fore and become very successful, and AI is full of success, but there’s no moment where we split the atom, put a man on the moon, cure a disease. That just doesn’t happen. Things are incrementally, slowly, carefully done.”
