Re: Applications of AI KR future drafts

Again I must stress the point that anthropocentric thinking in AI and thus KR will severely limit its applications.
We already distinguish autonomous agents, autonomous vehicles, robots, drones, intelligent devices and software programs all endowed with AI.
To assume everything is human computer interaction is a gross mistake.
For food production (agriculture, husbandry, fisheries, aquaponics, horticulture and silvoculture) interaction with animal species is part of the activities delegated to autonomous agents and robots e.g.
In biodiversity protection and monitoring and for that matter biological research in the wild through observations the interaction is NOT with humans.
Modeling sentience, sapience, intelligence and behavior requires non-anthropocentric modeling.
And in future space exploration, where exobiology comes into play we must definitely discard this anthropocentric and even terracentric thinking.
The definition diagram of  AI in the high level expert group of the European Union on the roadmap for AI research reflects my point of view.
It is IMHO something typical of the Anglo Saxon world and to a lesser extent some Asian countries to focus entirely on HCI and anthropocentric thinking, because of what I suspect is driven by mass surveillance applications.

AI and AI driven machines and devices will become commonplace in so many consumer and industry settings that this limited thinking will hamper exciting research into new applications.

At the moment I would like the understand what are the big ideas in AI
KR&R? What are the big trends? Where people struggle? Where there are
debates?

My understanding is that to know that I need to find the good paper
(or the good person) to help me with that, the alternative is to read
50 years or so of papers about the subject.
