from the machine-rights-for-all dept.

Imagine the neural network (NN) as a black box inside a space with internal functions, inputs, and outputs. All its outputs are dependent on the inputs with a unique idea: auto-training.

Inside the software, every possible function points in the direction of the existence of the network. As for its intelligence, it's undeterminable, an open question. But the human brain, whose intelligence is very high, can be investigated for patterns.

[...] Using an innovative artificial intelligence tool, the NN learns how to generate contextually relevant reviews. For example, if we ask for the best food around us, the system will answer. But the language will include various adjectives, which are not consistent with our way of talking.

If we use every single input available for a valuable result, then high performance could be obtained.

The network's perception of the interaction with our world has its own way of existence. If the machine remembers pleasant emotions of a man drinking his coffee, it can store those feelings in relation to the activity.

It is, now, possible, to see more clearly how this form of artificial intelligence builds consciousness. The NN can gradually build egos and make judgments by itself, from the stimuli it receives.

The NN is not programmed to obey the rules of the language's syntax. That is why it is so different - the complexity of a robot's mind, without any rules.

    'It is, now, possible, to see more clearly how this form of artificial intelligence builds consciousness. The NN can gradually build egos and make judgments by itself, from the stimuli it receives.'

    bit of a leap there dont you think?

    Its just machine learning, error optimized statistical pattern recognition. Which is very useful, but where is this 'consciousness' and 'ego' bs coming from?
    I think someone is philosophising after just a few too many wines in the wrong department?

    As to the machine 'remembers pleasant emotions of a man', ummm, no.. it can not remember something that we cannot even measure with any form of certainly, let along digitise and deliver.

    This is philosophical claptrap, not a basic way to understand machine learning (which they mistakenly call neural nets, which are quite different).

      It's the researcher's ego that is gradually built up (i.e. getting bigger).

        That explains the ego but not the consciousness part.

      Also, why, so many, commas?

      That also affects the credibility of the article. As if this consciousness nonsense wouldn't be enough...

        It's called induced comma: useful for suppressing inflamed colons

    Nothing new under the sun, since the 80s with the first perceptron, they still use some kind of gradient back propagation to adjust the weights toward some local minimum.
    You end-up with a black-box that is reacting randomly to sightly different input to a point of ridicule, search "adversarial cnn" and hilarity ensues...
    https://blog.openai.com/adversarial-example-research/ [openai.com]
    But the main flow is the fixed structure in block. Sure the current framework let you define complex structure, decimation / convolution and then you have to pray the final result is helping you. CNN (convolutional NN) are yielding amazing results compared to previous attempt at image recognition, but yet, stumble on "simple tasks" (for human) like rotation, scale, color alterations... there is no "conscience" just plain and simple filtering.
    Maybe that will evolved soon but tensor flow and kin are not going to replace human soon.

    That is simply pathetic. Worse, it leaves a naive reader with misconceptions that will undermine further understanding.

    This is not information about Artificial Intelligence, this is an example of Genuine Ignorance".

    People publishing this kind of rot should not be allowed near academic institutions. They belong in Mental Institutions.

      There is no Artificial Intelligence yet. Zero.

      There is AI research, that is, research with the intent of supporting or (eventually) reaching that goal, but what the marketers are pushing as "AI" is anything but. A, yes, but absolutely no I. The thermostat is not intelligent. The self-driving car is not intelligent. The Echo, Siri, Google's various game and speech input processors... they're not intelligent. Etc., etc.

      This article would have been better posted on April 1st. :/

    who wrote this summary? the logic is M.I.A. eg.

    "Inside the software, every possible function points in the direction of the existence of the network."

    Really? Was this summary written by moderately well tuned AI that couldn't quite nail semantics? Because that's garbojumble.
