It's real science fiction. None of these problems are even close to being practical except in the fantasy world created by pop-sci news outlets.

I was hoping for a serious discussion about the problems on the forefront of machine learning.

DARPA's already put 10s of millions into #3. What do you know that they and their teams don't?

    edit: The DARPA site you linked above calls it a "fully automated computer security challenge". They are not claiming it's AI.

      That's a ignorant cheap shot. Speculative, risky research is costly because lots of things don't work.

      Show me a definition of AI that would include papers published at NIPS/ICML or even AAAI and wouldn't include the same techniques as are used in the DARPA Grand Challenge.

      AI is just a label, it isn't something magical.
