If I drop a pen, you know that it won’t hover in midair but will fall to the floor. Similarly, if the pen encounters a desk on its way down, you know it won’t travel through the surface but will instead land on top.
“It’s so striking that as much as AI technologies have advanced, we still don’t have AI systems with anything like human common sense,” says Joshua Tenenbaum, a professor of cognitive sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who has done research in this area. “If we were ever to get to that point, then understanding how it works, how it arises in humans” will be valuable.
The goal was to have PLATO understand what violates the laws of intuitive physics based on five fundamental concepts: object permanence , solidity , continuity , unchangeableness and directional inertia . PLATO, like an infant, exhibited “surprise” when it, say, viewed an object that moved through another one without ricocheting backward upon impact.
