Abstract

Artificial Intelligence will continue to flourish in many ways. In this article, we present a view that centers on communication. Genuine human---computer communication has been an ambitious goal of artificial intelligence for decades and bears great potential for its future, yet nature still remains the sole successful crafter of systems capable of this art. Observations of natural communication processes suggest a holistic view that unites different means and levels of communication. Patterns from various senses as well as vast amounts of contextual information are integrated to yield an approximate understanding of reality. Rather than focusing on individual aspects of high-level communication techniques, we advocate tracing this holistic approach to communication, and systematically increasing algorithmic, integrative communication capabilities.
