Where are all the cockroaches?
Jerry Dejohn · Journal of Experimental & Theoretical Artificial Intelligence · 2004
Currently, not only has Strong AI failed in its endeavor to build a system that is as intelligent as you or I, but it cannot even build a system as intelligent as the ubiquitous cockroach. Instead of locating the failure in the lack of a proper theory of concepts, representation, or semantics, this paper locates the failure in the underestimation of how complex even relatively simple biological organisms, such as the cockroach, really are. The implications of biological complexity on research in Strong AI are briefly explored.
