Muy interesante!
@vaishakbelle.bsky.social
ha dado un buen repaso a los problemas actuales de la IA –alucinaciones, necesidad de grandes volúmenes de datos, uso de recursos– y cómo la combinación con la IA simbólica (la llamada IA neurosimbólica) puede resolverlos (o al menos mejorar la situación).

Very excited to report that Gary Marcus and I have a new position paper at the AAAI-2026 in the "Emerging Trends in AI" track. We make a case for neuro-symbolic AI, survey the field briefly, and point to various case studies that seem to also imply the need and growth of this paradigm.
