If someone can develop machine learning techniques that make computers generalize as flexibly as humans
Funny you should mention that...
Deepmind (acquired by Google in 2014) goal: "DeepMind Technologies' goal is to "solve intelligence" Demis has gone one to say elsewhere their goal is to create AGI
Also, the data you need to get there is owned by a few companies. Also those companies hire effectively every great ML PhD on the planet.
It's well known that existing machine learning algorithms are extremely inefficient learners
Right, which is why the heads of research at AFGAM are the pre-eminent minds in the field (Lecun, Hinton etc...) and are actively working on this along with unsupervised learning. These companies are either funding university labs that are developing this stuff or doing it in house.
