Computers don't think like people

The computer program may now have been able to detect liars better than humans, predict heart attacks four hours earlier than doctors, or beat the 9-grader champion with pressure ratio. island, .

However, artificial intelligence (AI) is not trying to lose to the human mind : it argues in a completely different way, a way that can go far beyond our understanding. Most of the success of AI depends on ' machine learning ' (software that helps computers learn anything), which is based on huge amounts of data to create an algorithm for a specific target. can. This method allows computers to perform a variety of tasks, such as recognizing a person's mood or finding a cat's appearance in a YouTube video.

Throughout these processes, probability is the focus.At first, artificial intelligence did not ' know ' anything; it only assigns a possibility to a result, such as the ability of a cat to be present in a video. If it is, it can then use this information to change the probability it assigns to the next video it encounters, and the process goes on. After making predictive loops as well as recording feedback, the algorithm will then have a pretty good ' model ' of how a cat on the screen will look.

Although we have a fairly ' rudimentary ' understanding of how artificial intelligence works, the reasoning ability it uses to solve a problem is often mysterious. Testing algorithms does not give people insight into the logic used within the robot's mind. For that reason, new technology that acts as a brain scanner dedicated to AI is also being developed at the Israeli Institute of Technology, aimed at understanding the working process of artificial intelligence. Perhaps we will soon have more knowledge about the minds of robots , as well as what they understand about our species.
