The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has poured hundreds of millions into every aspect of “big” artificial intelligence-expert systems, with little tangible return.
Now DARPA plans to attack the big-AI problem by providing its own quantitative measures of success. Part of that process will involve approaching AI in smaller chunks, with more task-specific platforms that prove AI’s utility for real-world tasks, via a new generation of compelling “mini AI” applications.
