A leading Australian expert has said that robots still need to lean the skill of common-sense reasoning in order to be able to perform more human tasks.

The experts said that the there is a lot of speculation about the growing ability of robots and advantages over artificial intelligence (AI). Some have even said that the advancement in AI might be dangerous to the human race in the future. They pointed out that new state of the art techniques and approaches are helping AI achieve new milestones.

They said that humans still have an advantage of using common sense to solve problems.Toby Walsh, a professor of computer science at the National Information and Communications Technology Australia described this ability as common-sense reasoning.Walsh said that humans have this ability to look at unseen objects and apply common sense to understand how they work and it has been a challenge to integrate this skill in AI for researchers.

Researchers also said that emotions and empathy remain one of the most human traits and robots lack the ability in these areas and it might take a lot of years of research if something of that sort can be achieved by the research community.
