A critical next step in AI system development is applying common-sense knowledge to infer and react to a situation as a human would. When people communicate with each other, they don’t need to explicitly say everything about a situation to decide what an appropriate action would be. Humans can understand what is inferred, even when details are left out. Stony Brook researchers are leading a collaborative project to teach AI systems to make such interpretations.
