  "summary": "Modern systems in artificial intelligence (AI) somehow excel in domains for which they seem poorly suited. Intelligence has traditionally been modeled as operating over structured combinations of symbols, such as logical formulas. However, the strongest modern AI systems are based on neural networks, which instead represent information in continuous vectors. Vectors seem inadequate for capturing…",
