Dr. Andrew McAfee describes an unexpected phenomenon, and one with profound consequences: for many tasks artificial intelligence technologies not only perform better than us; they also perform differently. They clearly don't reason the same way we do, which means they are not limited by our knowledge or constrained by our ways of looking at the world and making progress on difficult challenges.
