📖 Description

A system of different layers of abstraction for artificial intelligence Alexander Serb, Themistoklis Prodromakis Univeristy of Southampton, UK The field of artificial intelligence (AI) represents an enormous endeavour of humankind that is currently transform ing our societies down to their very foundations. Its task, building truly intelligent systems , is underpinned by a vast array of subfields ranging from the development of new electronic components to mathematical formulations of highly abstract and complex reasoning. This breadth of subfields renders it often difficul t to understand how they all fit together into a bigger picture and hides the multi -faceted, multi -layered conceptual structure that in a sense can be said to be what AI truly is . In this perspective we propose a system of five levels /layers of abstraction that underpin many AI implementations . We further posit that each layer is subject to a complexity -performance trade -off whilst d...

📊 Game Impacts

Not verified in game

Which variables this event was proposed to move, and in which direction. The magnitudes are held in the corpus but are not shown here, because they have not been verified against the shipped game. They come from pdoom-data. They describe what an event was proposed to do, not what the shipped game does with it. Most events in the corpus are flavour: they are shown for colour and do not move any game variable. Only a small minority reach the systems below, and several of the variables listed here are not read by the game at all yet. Treat this table as a design proposal under review, not as a measurement of play. Corrections and arguments are welcome — the suggestion links at the foot of this page go straight to the data repo.
