AI Perspectives Evolve

Pamela shares her initial skepticism about AI's potential and the limitations of symbolic processing, contrasting it with the advancements in deep learning. She reflects on the 80s expert systems and the so-called "AI winter," arguing that it stemmed from the inability to monetize basic research rather than a lack of progress. Both express the belief that while breakthroughs are inevitable, the timeline for achieving autonomous vehicles is far more uncertain than some may predict.
