Modern AI is driven largely by engineering intuition and brute force. We are building larger and larger systems that we do not fully understand, with the hopes that we will learn to understand & control them.
But there is another path forward.
To build AI that we can understand - AI we can trust, extend, and reason about - we must stop only engineering and start explaining.
It is time for a scientific theory of intelligence.
Modern AI is like electricity in 1800: powerful artifacts, but no unifying theory.
In post #1 of our new series, The Missing Foundations of Intelligence, Tomaso Poggio & @JohnGabrieli propose two candidate principles: Sparse compositionality & genericity.

After five years of stalling on Beacon Hill, Governor Baker has signed the campus sexual assault bill into law tonight. The bill was spearheaded by @EveryVoiceCoal. #mapoli
Here’s the Globe’s editorial on why the law is a good step for college campuses: https://t.co/BydggZ227C
A bill to protect survivors of sexual assault is moving today. Senate needs to agree to House amendment and both chambers need to enact a final version to send it to the Governor today!

Thanks to the hard work of advocates, students, and survivors, the Granite State is leading the way on preventing sexual assault. The Every Voice bill will help curb sexual assault on college campuses and keep students safe. NH is so proud!
