Gary Marcus and Ernest Davisの "Rebooting AI" を読んでいます。

Highway driving in good weather is relatively amenable to narrow AI, because highways themselves are largely closed systems; pedestrians aren't allowed, and even cars have limited access. But engineers working the problem have come to realize that urban driving is much more complex; what an appear on a road in a croweded city at any given moment is essentially unbounded. Human drivers routinely cope with circumstances for which they have little of no direct data (like the first time they see a police officer with a hand-lettered sigh saying DETOUR--SINKHOLE). One techincal term for such circumstances is that they are outliers; narrow AI tends to get flummoxed by them.
