What Do You Mean by "Open World"?
Keywords: Open World, Partially Open World, Intelligence, Skill
TL;DR: The article distinguishes between the concepts of a "closed world," a "partially open world," and a "fully open world." The seemingly subtle difference can steer research in completely different directions, namely toward "intelligence" and "skills."
Abstract: This paper explores the different understandings of the term "open world" in AI research, categorizing them into partially open world and fully open world. By distinguishing between intelligence and skills, I argue that a fully open world is essential for evaluating intelligence, while a partially open world risks shifting focus towards problem-specific skills. However, both partially open and closed worlds can still be valuable research tools if the underlying assumptions of AI systems are carefully examined.
