Syllabi for training an AI

For many years I have stressed the importance of the syllabi I need in order to be able to successfully train A.s.a. H.* I have felt that the field of AI research has spent too little time and effort on such topics. It looks to me like some of the problems that IBM’s Watson program is having is of this sort. (Though excessive PR hype is another problem they have.)

Specialist training for humans typically begins as late as college and graduate school. Should specialist AIs share the same syllabi for their early training or should these diverge sooner?

*A.s.a. H.’s abstraction hierarchy contributes to the importance of this.
