He identifies the " seven deadly sins " of AI hype : increasing the rates of technological development , magical thinking , the over - extension of competence , misuse of terms , over ##sumption of exponential extrapolation , over application of concepts from Hollywood films , and a poor understanding of the marginal costs and speed of deployment of technology .
Rodney Brooks, former MIT professor and co-founder of iRobot and Rethink Robots, has written a blog post criticising many of what he sees as the exaggerated claims around the current and future capabilities of artificial intelligence. He identifies the "seven deadly sins" of AI hype: underestimating the rates of technological development, magical thinking, the over-extension of competence, misuse of terms, over application of exponential extrapolation, over application of ideas from Hollywood films, and a poor understanding of the marginal costs and speed of deployment of hardware.
