5. Talk and interact with humans in a natural way

1. Use hearing and sight to gather information from the surrounding world

2. Grasp underlying concepts, form hypotheses, apply rules and infer and extract ideas

4. With each data point, interaction and outcome, develop and sharpen expertise

3. Apply context, understand imagery, speech and other unstructured data
