changing from static, inanimate objects into adaptive, reactive systems that can be more friendly, useful, and efficient. Or, of course, these new systems could be even more difficult to use than current systems; it depends how we design the interface between the world of humans and the world of this new generation of machines. To change inanimate objects like offices, houses, cars, or glasses into smart, active helpmates they need what I call “perceptual intelligence.” Translated, perceptual intelligence is paying attention to people and the surrounding situation in the same way another person would, thus allowing these new devices to learn to adapt their behavior to suit us, rather than adapting to them as we do today. This approach is grounded in the theory that most appropriate, adaptive biological behavior results from perceptual apparatus classifying the situation correctly, which then triggers fairly simple, situation-specific learned responses. It is an ethological view of behavior, and stands in strong contrast to cognitive theories that hold that adaptive behavior is primarily the result of complex reasoning mechanisms. From this theoretical perspective the problem with current computers is they are incredibly isolated. If you imagine yourself living in a closed, dark, soundproof box with only a telegraph connection to the outside world, you can get some sense of how difficult it is for computers to act intelligently or be helpful. They exist in a world almost completely disconnected from ours, so how can they know what they should do in order to be helpful? In the language of cognitive science, perceptual intelligence is the ability to deal with the frame problem: It is the ability to classify the P U I Alex Pentland PERCEPTUAL INTELLIGENCE
