But there are exceptions: developments
in the capabilities of “pick and place” robots and rapid progress in autonomous vehicles point to
the possibility for robotics to escape manufacturing and become much more broadly used.
Advances in robotics may well reveal this area of AI be a GPT, as defined by the classic criteria.
Some research tools/IMIs based on algorithms have transformed the nature of research in
some fields, but have lacked generality. These types of algorithmic research tools, based on a
static set of program instructions, are a valuable IMI, but do not appear to have wide
applicability outside a specific domain and do not qualify as GPTs. For example, while far from
perfect, powerful algorithms to scan brain images (so-called functional MRI imaging) have
transformed our understanding of the human brain, not only through the knowledge they have
generated but also by establishing an entirely new paradigm and protocol for brain research.
