Machine translation and speech recognition are classified as AI-complete problems, requiring comprehensive world knowledge

Summary

Translating language and understanding spoken words aren't just pattern-matching tasks; they demand the kind of broad, commonsense world knowledge that a truly general intelligence would have. That means no narrow specialist model can solve them properly — real progress on either one is essentially progress on building a full, general-purpose mind.
