\nTitle: AI&rsquo\;s Challenge of Understanding the World
\nAbstract:
\nI will survey a debate in the artificial intelligence (AI) research community on the extent to which current AI systems can be said to &ldquo\;understand&rdquo\; language and the physical and social situations language encodes. I will describe arguments that have been made for and against such understanding\, hypothesize about what humanlike understanding entails\, and discuss what methods can be used to fairly evaluate understanding in AI systems.
