In this lecture, the speaker will review the state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence, and will explain the main obstacles to achieving what is known as “Strong Artificial Intelligence”, that is to say, artificial intelligence that is equal to, or greater than that of humans. Specifically, the lecture will focus on the difficulties involved in providing machines with commonsense knowledge, as well as the fundamental role of corporeality when it comes to developing intelligence. The speaker will also present the idea that what is known as “technological singularity” – a term that has received a great deal of media coverage, and which supposes that machines will surpass humans in intelligence – will not only fail to arrive within the space of 25 or 30 years, as some have predicted, but that it may well never ever come to pass.
