The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), whose projects have been written on Habré more than once, recently set about the project of creating the next generation of artificial intelligence Artificial Intelligence Next (AI Next). Ideologists and creators are confident that the new AI will be much better than the previous one, and the robot's judgments will not differ from the logical judgments of a living person, based on "common sense".

The project cost is estimated at $ 2 billion . Valerie Browning, director of the military science department of DAPRA, said: “The AI ​​Next project’s superidea is: to turn a car from a tool, sometimes very worthy, into a real partner, into an employee who is trustworthy.”

“We would need to ensure that the new generation of artificial intelligence will have something like built-in common sense,” she continues. “We would like him to also have the ability to self-analyze.” According to experts, the new generation of artificial intelligence will successfully tackle tasks that a person cannot accomplish, noting the smallest details to which the human brain simply does not react, so insignificant are they.

DAPRA funds various development teams that are trying to improve existing versions of artificial intelligence. Thanks to this, the agency has the opportunity to follow many interesting projects from this area, as well as to respond in time to interesting ideas if they appear in a team.

According to Valerie Browning, only a few months will pass before obtaining significant results: “I suppose,” she predicts, “that very soon we will find out if there is an applied meaning in all these works. Until the result of months, not years. "
