Of all the panels and Q&As happening during this year’s Telluride Film Festival, probably the most anticipated one featured a visit from rock royalty in the form of an unbilled (but not terribly secret) appearance by Bruce Springsteen in a group discussion following the second-ever screening of the dramatic feature “Springsteen: Deliver Us From Nowhere.” Asked why he said yes to this project after presumably being approached so many other times to have his life turned into a film, Springsteen took issue with the premise of the question. “Um, I don’t know that he have,” he chuckled.

As the temperatures begin to cool, the leaves start to change colors, and the smell of crisp apples and pumpkin spice lattes hits the air, New Yorkers begin gearing up for another cozy fall. Every year at the end of summer, I lock in my plans to visit upstate New York to take advantage of all the activities going on there during my favorite season, whether that be day-tripping to Sleepy Hollow, booking tickets to The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze, paranormal investigating at the Shanley Hotel in the Catskills, or sipping hot apple cider at the pumpkin patch.

There are many ways to test the intelligence of an artificial intelligence — conversational fluidity, reading comprehension or mind-bendingly difficult physics. But some of the tests that are most likely to stump AIs are ones that humans find relatively easy, even entertaining. Though AIs increasingly excel at tasks that require high levels of human expertise, this does not mean that they are close to attaining artificial general intelligence, or AGI. AGI requires that an AI can take a very small amount of information and use it to generalize and adapt to highly novel situations. This ability, which is the basis…
