“Recently, an increasing number of prominent researchers have begun to publicly acknowledge some core problems of current approaches – namely, the inability of systems to learn incrementally and autonomously, and their lack of generality, transfer learning, and reasoning ability. In order to break through this intelligence bottleneck, another approach is starting to gain momentum: ‘Cognitive Architectures’. 

This paradigm is closely related to what has been called the ‘Third Wave of AI’ – computers that can think, learn, and reason like humans.”
