See: Image and video recognition
Hear: Understand input via text or
spoken language
Speak: Respond meaningfully to
input (from ‘hear’)
Make human-like decisions:
Offer advice or new knowledge
Learn: Change its behavior based
on environment changes
Move: Move and interact with
physical objects
Image processing:
Convolutional NNs (CNNs)
Natural Language Processing:
Recurrent NNs (RNNs), e.g. LSTM
