Why we need to think differently about AI

"In many respects AI seems to be stalled," writes Mike Loukides. "What seems no closer than it was a decade ago, would be steps in the direction of general intelligence or creativity." But why? Loukides suggests that the answer may be found in computer science's focus on abstraction. " Data abstracts people; data is an abstraction that becomes a proxy for you and your concerns—forgetting that data is people is dangerous in many ways, not in the least because these abstractions are often the basis for decisions." That problem doesn't exist only in AI - I've seen a fair amount of education reserach that suffers from the same problem.
