The AI Knowledge Frontier

Land is what has been demonstrated under stated conditions, and the coastline is the frontier. Regions are domains. The terrain is computed from the map’s assessments; distances are not measurements.

How to read this map

Moving outward from the centre: summit (established, none yet), land (demonstrated under stated conditions), shallows (partially solved), open water (open questions, then hypotheses) and the hatched uncharted band (not yet assessed, which is not the same as impossible). Ground rises with the number of demonstrated assessments nearby, so the coast extends where more has been shown and recedes where little has. A capability with different results under different conditions appears once per assessment, so it can stand on land and in the shallows at the same time. Marker shapes show the kind of entry (hover over one to see which). Select one to draw its relationships; dashed routes are hypothesized. Drag to pan; pinch, Ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; arrow keys move between entries.

Coverage follows my personal interests, so it is not a complete picture of the field. Entries are provisional, scoped to the evidence cited, and not an official scientific consensus. Methodology
