Yes there is progress being made in AI systems. But no progress building
the type of recursive AI capable of coding its own goal systems; the type
being alluded to by a previous poster. If the airline computer decides
to book you on a hiking through the Andes expedition instead of your
European hotel room request, then I'll be worried. Robotics and intelligent
(non-obedient) computer systems are very different and we are nowhere near
the latter, for now.

Well, these days, when I call up my airline to get an upgrade on a
flight, I talk -- literally talk -- to a computer. Documents are
routinely read by scanners and transcribed by computer programs these
days, at error rates comparable to the ones humans make. Recently
there was a race you may have heard of sponsored by DARPA in which a
bunch of cars driven entirely by machines drove across the desert. A
couple of decades ago, no one could have built vehicles that drove
autonomously across the desert.
I think there is real progress being made.
