25 years ago, Allan Newell, right here in Pittsburgh, in the very year AAAI was born, articulated a set of criteria that a system had to exhibit to be considered intelligent.

Newell was very explicit that an intelligent system had to exhibit all of these criteria. This reflected the then prevailing view that intelligent systems were monolithic, and developed centrally by an individual or small group.

The Web has shown us a different path to intelligence – millions of simple knowledge services, developed collaboratively in a decentralized way by many individuals and groups, all building on each other, and demonstrating a collective form of intelligence.

It’s time to reconcile these two views and create a new breed of hybrid knowledge systems that combine the best elements of:

  • AI and the Web
  • Humans and machines

...that can solve heretofore intractable real world problems, and potentially demonstrate heretofore unattainable levels of machine intelligence.
