What is Moravec's paradox?

  • A.Adding knowledge to a system reduces its overall performance
  • B.The best algorithms are the ones that are hardest to understand
  • C.Tasks easy for people are hard for machines and the reverse
  • D.Faster computers make artificial intelligence problems harder

Answer: C

Reasoning and calculation, which people find effortful, proved comparatively easy to automate, while perception and movement, which any child performs effortlessly, proved extremely hard. The suggested explanation is that the latter have been optimised by evolution for far longer. The other options describe no recognised paradox. An observation that inverts the intuitive ordering of difficulty is a useful corrective when estimating how hard a new task will be.
