As the tech industry rushes headlong into a future where the term "AI" seems to be bolted on to every new product release and development, Intel's CEO Pat Gelsinger gave an interesting take on the future of AI at the World Economic Forum this week. When asked about AI research and development, he made reference to Daniel Kahneman's book, "Thinking, Fast and Slow", and the merits of the book's foundational principle when applied to AI.
Kahneman makes the distinction that to his mind, there are two ways of thinking: Fast and intuitive, and slow and rational. Gelsinger makes the point that as AI development currently stands, all of our AI systems today are "thinking fast", and that bringing rational thinking and reasoning into AI, ie "thinking slow" is a huge area of current research.
