What level of understanding can we hope to successfully make computers reach in the next ten years? The answer is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum: making sense-cognitive understanding-complete empathy. A computer which understands at the level of cognitive understanding will be able to do some of the following things: learn or change as result of its experience, relate present experiences to past experiences intelligently, formulate new information for itself, explain itself-say why it made the connections it did, and what thought process was involved in reaching a conclusion.
