Talk:Artificial intelligence/Where did it go? 2021

In the summer and fall of 2021, I copy-edited the entire article for redundancy, WP:RELEVANCE, WP:UNDUE weight, organization and citation format. Most of the material was moved to sub-articles, such as applications of AI, artificial general intelligence, history of AI and so on. Some material (marked "Not Done" below) didn't seem to fit in anywhere, or was difficult to save for one reason or another. CharlesGillingham (talk) 23:16, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

From History
✅ These have been moved to Applications of AI. All but three of these have a one sentence mention in --- CharlesGillingham (talk) 16:31, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

✅ Moved to ''

❌ China's AI program is not (yet) the most important trend of the decade. Perhaps the paragraph on the 2020s will use this. CharlesGillingham (talk) 18:44, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

From Basics
The article had a section called Basics which was an article-within-the-article. This is very well written, well sourced and accurate, but it is completely redundant. We still need to look at the best bits and see if they aren't better than what we already have on those topics and replace what we have if that's a good idea.

✅ Moved to intelligent agent

✅ Moved to intelligent agent

❌ Where? Algorithm?

TODO Heuristic learning?

❌ Dubious.

TODO Move to Intractability (just the example)

❌ This is really good, especially the examples, but I'm not sure where to work it into the article or anywhere else in Wikipedia. The Tools section basically covers these same points in the same order. Could it work there?

✅ Moved to Machine learning

✅ I'm not confident about where this fits into machine learning, so I can't put it anywhere myself. Sending it to Talk:Machine learning.

✅ Moved to

✅ Point is already made in. This text appears in Commonsense reasoning.

From Goals/Lede
❌ Is this a re-invention/re-framing of symbolic vs. sub-symbolic? Perhaps it could go in symbolic AI; although I would really like to see this in a WP:SECONDARY source. CharlesGillingham (talk) 04:18, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

From Social Intelligence
✅ The first source is actually about technological employment (the paradox is relevant because computers are bad at perceptual and motor tasks). Moved the source to. The second source is about giving AI programs a "theory of (other) minds", which is a form of social intelligence. Added the citation to  CharlesGillingham (talk) 22:09, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

❌ Too vague to be useful anywhere.

From General Intelligence
✅ Cyc is covered in the article History of AI as well as Artificial general intelligence, FGCP is covered in a footnote in (UTC)

✅ This has been moved to Applications of AI

✅ This is added to

❌ This is unclear. However, the source is perfect and the point is good. Needs layman's language (first half) and encyclopedic tone (second half)

✅ Moved to artificial general intelligence

From "Approaches"
Before 2021, the article had a section called "Approaches". This has been divided between History, Philosophy and the sub-articles. CharlesGillingham (talk) 18:21, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

From Symbolic AI
✅ I moved this section into Symbolic AI. The history Symbolic AI of is described in two paragraphs of, and the weaknesses and strengths of the approach are describe in the section

From Embodied Intelligence
✅ The coverage is sufficient, and of course this definition is in the article developmental robotics. --- CharlesGillingham (talk) 03:02, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

From Integrating the Approaches
TODO mentions cognitive architectures and multi-agent systems as approaches to AGI, and the others here are mentioned in a footnote. Technically, I can't call this "Done" because our article doesn't acknowledge that these are also used as tools for particular applications. Still might need to have a (very short) section on this stuff in Tools.

From Logic
✅ These points have been moved into Fuzzy logic.

From neural networks
❌ I think that the author of this was trying explain that information is distributed throughout the network, rather than being stored in a specific location (as it would be with symbolic AI). however using the word "concepts" (which has a specific meaning in cognitive science) is a misleading way to describe this -- it actually confuses the issue. This is also unsourced. Perhaps someone else can figure out what the original author meant and say it better.

✅ Moved to

✅ This point is made

❌ already reports two excellent metrics of the uptick in AI interest 2015-2020 (total publications, corporate spending). This is not a particularly notable metric, and we can't really use it when we have better ones.

✅ Frank Rosenblatt is discussed in the History of AI, and Pitts & McCullough is mentioned there and in.

❌ without sources, Wikipedia can't really make any assertion about their importance.

✅ Linnaimaa is credited in a footnote.

❌ WP:UNDUE weight on this approach. Can't really move this to an AI sub-article either, because it's not really in use -- biologically based AI, maybe?

✅ Similarly, this is probably WP:UNDUE weight on this approach. Moved to Artificial neural network

From Feedforward Networks
✅ All this precedence is covered in Deep learning

✅ Too much undefined WP:JARGON. Significance isn't clear. Covered in Deep learning.

✅ More precedence. Covered in Deep learning.

✅ Covered in Deep learning

✅ The article has enough detail about AlphaGo. Moved to AlphaGo.

From Deep recurrent neural networks
❌ This is unsourced (but unlikely to be challenged). Still, don't think we need it, since there are more applications today.

✅ Just the source.

✅ Moved to Recurrent neural networks, where this fact did not appear (and thus probably not notable enough for this article).

✅ Kept, Edited for brevity.

✅ Schmidhuber's work 1991-92 is described in Recurrent neural network.

✅ LSTM is mentioned, with this source.

✅ Undefined WP:JARGON. This is covered in Recurrent Neural Network.

✅ Applications of LSTM. These projects are described in, with the same sources.

From Applications
✅ Moved to Applications of AI

From Evaluating progress
✅ Moved into Applications of AI.

✅ Moved into Applications of AI.

✅ Moved into Moravec's paradox. CharlesGillingham (talk) 16:41, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

✅ Moravec's paradox is covered

✅ Games & AlphaGo are covered in

✅ This appears in Progress in artificial intelligence.

✅ This is moved to Applications of AI.

✅ This has been added to Progress in artificial intelligence

✅ This appears in Progress in artificial intelligence

✅ This appears in Progress in artificial intelligence

✅ Moved to Hardware for artificial intelligence

From Philosophy
✅ This is covered in Philosophy of AI

✅ This is covered in Philosophy of AI

✅ The AI effect has been covered in the Lede and in Applications.

✅ This is covered in philosophy of AI

From Singularity
✅ Kurzweil's prediction is covered in artificial general intelligence

From Robot Rights
✅ Plug & Play is mentioned in the footnote

❌ Can't really move this into artificial intelligence in fiction because that article is tightly structured and there's no place for this topic at the moment.

From Risks
❌ This is devoid of actual content about AI, and too vague to be useful in existential risk of artificial intelligence

❌ Redundant. The points that Beridze is making are vague and are covered in more detail elsewhere in the article. Added this citation to a paragraph about the same concerns citing Musk, Gates and Hawkins. Also a bit vague to be useful in Existential risk of AI

From technological unemployment
✅ Redundant: Each contribution seemed to want to introduce the topic again.

✅ Redundant: This point was made twice, and I chose the one based on Ford. Keeping the reference.

❌ These were off-topic

✅ Moved to technological unemployment

From Existential Risk
✅ Kept a sentence of this. This point is also made in Existential risk of AI (in three places).

✅ Kept one sentence of each of this, the whole paragraph is moved to Existential risk of AI

✅ ame deal. Summary in AI, all the text moved to Existential risk of AI

✅ This is covered in Friendly AI

✅ Kept one sentence or so from this, the entire paragraph moved to Existential risk of AI

✅ This is moved to Existential risk of AI

✅ This is moved to Technological unemployment

✅ This is in Existential risk of AI

✅ This is in Existential risk of AI

✅ This is in Existential risk of AI.

From Ethical machines
✅ Everything here is either in ethics of AI or history of AI

From Malevolent AI
✅ A shortened version of this paragraph was moved up into the "weaponized A" section.

✅ Added this citation and footnote with the quote to the "existential risk" section, because this is a response to the risk. Also added the full quote to Existential risk of AI

✅Moved (a cut-down version of) this into "existential risk" because it is an argument that there is a risk. The remainder of this was moved into

From Regulation
✅ All of these paragraphs (or equivalent) and their sources now appear in regulation of AI

From Fiction
❌ This section is about fiction, and we only have room to cover the most popular tropes. This material below doesn't illustrate a major trope and places WP:UNDUE on this artist for this article (and is unsourced). Could not find a a place for this, as artificial intelligence in fiction has a very tight structure at this point and doesn't seem to be ready to accept discussion of random works.

Citations needed for the material above
When the material above is moved into a sub article, we will need the citation it used. You should be able to find them here. Note that the citation format of the article was all over the map. CharlesGillingham (talk) 09:02, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Unused citations from the article (not needed above)
