One of the saddest things about the field of AI is how ahistorical and siloed it is. Some of the key debates of our day (e.g. innate priors vs "blank slate" minds) have been going on for many decades, across multiple fields, and deep learners have *zero* knowledge of this context

Perché in un mondo popolato dai robot saremo ospiti sgraditi?
Per un robot è più semplice interagire con un altro robot che con un essere umano. Per un'auto a guida autonoma è più semplice muoversi in strade percorse da auto simili, invece che da auto a guida umana. Una semplice constatazione che ci fa intuire, però, quali incentivi opereranno sempre più nel prossimo futuro nei campi della robotica sociale
