让AI从零开始学常识,才能真正自主。
Common Sense Is All You Need
- AI应从最少先验知识出发,通过情境学习和自适应推理成长
- 现有模型虽能过测试,但缺乏真实世界中的灵活应变能力
- 适合研究通用人工智能与自主系统的人关注
人工智能近年取得显著进展,但仍难以具备动物共有的基本认知能力——常识。当前主流AI系统在自动驾驶、抽象推理(如ARC)、对话测试(如图灵测试)等任务中,常因缺乏新情境适应能力而受限。本文主张,实现真正自主的AI必须融入常识能力。我们提出应调整知识获取顺序:让AI从极小先验知识出发,具备情境学习、自适应推理与具身化能力,涵盖物理与抽象领域。同时需重构AI软件栈以应对这一基础挑战。若无常识,AI将始终停留在理论极限附近,因资源与计算需求无限而无法落地。单纯扩大模型规模或通过图灵测试不足以达成真正的自主智能。通过重新定义评测标准以强制要求真实常识表现,并拓展具身化的内涵,可推动更贴近现实复杂环境的AI发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant strides in recent years, yet it continues to struggle with a fundamental aspect of cognition present in all animals: common sense. Current AI systems, including those designed for complex tasks like autonomous driving, problem-solving challenges such as the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC), and conversational benchmarks like the Turing Test, often lack the ability to adapt to new situations without extensive prior knowledge. This manuscript argues that integrating common sense into AI systems is essential for achieving true autonomy and unlocking the full societal and commercial value of AI. We propose a shift in the order of knowledge acquisition emphasizing the importance of developing AI systems that start from minimal prior knowledge and are capable of contextual learning, adaptive reasoning, and embodiment -- even within abstract domains. Additionally, we highlight the need to rethink the AI software stack to address this foundational challenge. Without common sense, AI systems may never reach true autonomy, instead exhibiting asymptotic performance that approaches theoretical ideals like AIXI but remains unattainable in practice due to infinite resource and computation requirements. While scaling AI models and passing benchmarks like the Turing Test have brought significant advancements in applications that do not require autonomy, these approaches alone are insufficient to achieve autonomous AI with common sense. By redefining existing benchmarks and challenges to enforce constraints that require genuine common sense, and by broadening our understanding of embodiment to include both physical and abstract domains, we can encourage the development of AI systems better equipped to handle the complexities of real-world and abstract environments.
