Abstract

The role of perception and action in current AI systems is analyzed and some points concerning present AI methodologies are discussed. It is argued that if we accept as a central goal for AI to build artificial systems that behave in an intelligent way in the real world, then additional evaluation criteria for intelligent systems should be used. Finally, some of these criteria are proposed.
