Like a child learning about its environment, AI should be thought of as a 2 year old being taught what objects are. They learn through constant interaction with their environment through all of their senses. Without vision, AI is losing one of the most important senses. Sound, taste, touch and smell are all necessary for something to be truly cognizant of its environment. I wonder which sense will be next?

This discussion of spatial intelligence in the context of AI conjures up questions of true understanding. These questions border on the philosophical.

AI is already proving to be a powerful tool to read, right, and generate images and video. But also display remarkably poor understanding, or perhaps no understanding, of what they are doing.

Something is missing, and I don’t know about the technology to speak as to what it is. Nonetheless, these tools are the future, and we should embrace them.

It is my sincere hope that AI leads us to accelerated economic growth in the near future. General human prosperity should be the goal.
