In the past it was assumed that Artificial Intelligence is an algorithm, for example a recursive genetic algorithm which improves itself, or a mathematical optimization algorithm for model predictive control. Such a bias organizes the research into a certain direction and ignores possible alternatives.
The opposite bias is shown in the picture which consists of a buffer who connects two systems. There is no Turing machine anymore needed which executes an algorithm, but they are separate systems who are communicating with each other. The buffer is some sort of traffic router in a computer network and is the source of artificial intelligence. The router ensures that both systems are using the same protocol, namely grounded language.
Even if this definition is vague and nothing but a picture, it allows to treat artificial intelligence with a new perspective. Classical algorithm theory can be ignored and signal processing and linguistics becomes a greater importance. The goal is to use the buffer pattern as a starting point for all the future AI research, including robotics, computer vision and planning.
