[Semantic Web]The Semantic Web vs. Artificial Intelligence

读书笔记 Lee 发表于 2006/3/3 22:50:02 Most of the technologies (explicit metadata, ontology, logic and inferencing, and intelligent agents) needed for the realization of the Semantic Web build upon work in the area of artificial intelligence, but the realization of the Semantic Web vision does not rely on human-level intelligence. So it is not necessary to worry that the Semantic Web will repeat AI’s errors: big promises that raise too high expectations, which turn out not to be fulfilled (at least not in the promised time frame). On the Semantic Web partial solutions will work. Even if an intelligent agent is not able to come to all conclusions that a human user might draw, the agent will still contribute to a Web much superior to the current Web. This brings us to another difference. If the ultimate goal of AI is to build an intelligent agent exhibiting human-level intelligence (and higher), the goal of the Semantic Web is to assist human users in their day-to-day online activities.It is clear that the Semantic Web will make extensive use of current AI technology and that advances in that technology will lead to a better Semantic Web. But there is no need to wait until AI reaches a higher level of achievement; current AI technology is already sufficient to go a long way toward realizing the Semantic Web vision.
