Questions tagged [human-like]

For questions on behavior/performance of algorithms designed to mimic human qualities, behaviors, etc.

Humans are considered the most intelligent species currently residing on Earth, rivaled only by Corvidae and Octopoda.

Human intelligence refers to the intellectual prowess of humans, which is marked by complex cognitive feats and high levels of motivation and self-awareness. Through their intelligence, humans possess the cognitive abilities to learn, form concepts, understand, apply logic and reason, including the capacities to recognize patterns, comprehend abstract ideas, plan, solve problems, make decisions, retain information, and use language to communicate.
Human Intelligence wiki

Definition and characteristics of human intelligence are interpreted differently by individuals depending on their culture and frame of reference, as intelligence is a spectrum.

Are neural networks the only way to reach "true" artificial intelligence?

Currently, most research done in artificial intelligence focuses on neural networks, which have been successfully used to solve many problems. A good example would be DeepMind's AlphaGo, which uses a convolutional neural network. There are many…

Could there be existential threats to humanity due to AI?

We are doing research, spending hours figuring out how we can make real AI software (intelligent agents) to work better. We are also trying to implement some applications e.g. in business, health and education, using the AI technology. Nonetheless,…

How is it that AI can become biased, and what are the proposals to mitigate this?

This is not meant to be negative or a joke but rather looking for a productive solution on AI development, engineering and its impact on human life: Lately with my Google searches, the AI model keeps auto filling the ending of my searches…

How does Atlas from Boston Dynamics have human-like movement?

Discussing the video More Parkour Atlas, a friend asked how the robot's movement was so similar to the one from a real human and wondering how this is achieved? To my knowledge, this is not something the developer "programmed", but instead emerged…

In 2016, can $1000.00 buy enough operations per second to be approximately equal to the computational power of a human brain?

In The Age of Spiritual Machines (1999), Ray Kurzweil predicted that in 2009, a \$1000 computing device would be able to perform a trillion operations per second. Additionally, he claimed that in 2019, a \$1000 computing device would be…

Does AI rely on determinism?

I don’t believe in free will, but most people do. Although I’m not sure how an act of free will could even be described (let alone replicated), is libertarian freewill something that is considered for AI? Or is AI understood to be deterministic?

Can ML/AI understand incomplete constructs like humans?

We have AI's predicting images, predicting objects in an image. Understanding audio, meaning of the audio if it is a spoken sentence. In humans when we start seeing a movie halfway through, we still understand the entire movie (although this might…

Why can't computers be random?

I talked with a graduate computer science who said one challenge of making artificial human-like is making random decisions, and that computers can't be random, that they always need a "seed." But, if a computer's outcomes are determined by the…

Why would neural networks be a particularly good framework for "embodied AI"?

There is this claim around that the brain's cognitive capabilities are tightly linked to the way it processes sensorimotor information and that, in this or a similar sense, our intelligence is "embodied". Lets assume, for the sake of argument, that…

What are methods human actors use to imitate robots?

Robot technology is usually thought from an engineering perspective. A human programmer writes a software this executed in a robot who is doing a task. But what would happen, if the project is started with the opposite goal? The idea is, that the…

Is there any paper, article or book that analyzes the feasibility of acheiving AGI through brain-simulation?

In my understanding, the mind arises from a physical system, the brain. I see that there is a big research under the topic of simulating physical systems efficiently (especially in quantum computing). Hence, in theory, we could achieve AGI by…

Can an artificial intelligence eventually think like a human?

It seems to me that the way neural networks are trained is similar to the way we educate a child (or a person, in general). Can an AI eventually think like a human?

Can an AI generated image (such as pic of human face) be detected that it's AI generated?

AIs are getting better and better at creating images and art. Some of the stuff is almost impossible to be detected by the naked eye. But what about programs and algorithms? Instead of creating an image, can anything detect that this image was…
