Man vs machine: we are a long way from real artificial intelligence

Do philosophers ever have anything to offer investors? I know it’s a strange question, but when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI), it turns out that those who work under the intellectual umbrella of cognitive science, linguistics and philosophy of language have a lot to say. For shorthand here, I will refer to such researchers simply as “philosophers”. One reason is that the towering intellectual figure Noam Chomsky, whom I will discuss below, has revolutionised all three disciplines.
