After months of honing its ability to identify smoke among pine trees, the drone is reassigned to a coastal region to watch for floods. The moment the drone learns to interpret these new types of images, it might completely lose its ability to detect a forest fire. In the world of artificial intelligence, this phenomenon is known as \u201ccatastrophic forgetting,\u201d and it remains one of the biggest hurdles to creating truly intelligent, autonomous agents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of artificial intelligence\u2019s most stubborn problems is enabling AI systems to accumulate new knowledge without losing what they previously learned.
