Why does perception prove harder to automate than logical reasoning?

  • A.It involves far more arithmetic operations per second than reasoning
  • B.Sensors are not accurate enough to support reliable perception
  • C.Logical reasoning has been studied for very much longer
  • D.It requires enormous implicit knowledge acquired through experience

Answer: D

Interpreting a scene depends on a vast body of unstated expectations about objects, lighting, occlusion and physics that people acquire without instruction, whereas the rules of logic are few and explicit. That is the same commonsense knowledge difficulty in another guise. Arithmetic volume and sensor quality are secondary, and both areas have long histories. A task whose difficulty lies in unstated knowledge rather than in computation resists exactly the improvements that hardware provides.
