Seven Principles of Synthetic Intelligence

Understanding why the original project of Artificial Intelligence is widely regarded as a failure and has been abandoned even by most of contemporary AI research itself may prove crucial to achieving synthetic intelligence. Here, we take a brief look at some principles that we might consider to be lessons from the past five decades of AI. The author's own AI architecture --MicroPsi --attempts to contribute to that discussion.
