The Next Breakthroughs of Artificial Intelligence: The Interdisciplinary Nature of AI

1.Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) is committed to the realization of machine-borne intelligence.The technologies underpinning AI have made huge leaps in the past decade,bringing exciting applications such as language understanding,vision recognition,and intelligent digital assistants.However,contemporary AI systems are good at specific predefined tasks and are unable to learn by themselves from data or from experience,intuitive reasoning,and adaptation.From the perspective of overcoming the limitations of existing AI,interdisciplinary scientific efforts are necessary to boost future research on AI.As a result,the next breakthroughs of AI will be interdisciplinary endeavors that draw upon neuroscience,physics,mathematics,electronic engineering,biology,linguistics,and psychology to deliver great theoretical,technological,and applicable innovations,address complex societal issues,reshape the national industrial system,and more.
