Have we plateaued in our progress on AI?
A computer that translates as well as a human, which is as good a definition as any of genuine artificial intelligence, is nowhere in sight.
This isn't just an issue for computer translation; it exists for just about all of the tough problems computers are working in: language, vision, robotics--even search, which is at the heart of the Web. Computers have become remarkably useful but are still a far cry from the dream of early computer pioneers of a machine so smart it would be indistinguishable from a human.
