As research in AI advances, it has become possible to glimpse parallels between certain features of AI and human cognitive functions, including in some cases a sort of primitive capacity to dream. At least until this point, the ‘art’ of computer science has been more in how the answers are reached than in what the answers turn out to be. A more modest definition of artificial intelligence might read as ‘computer programs that can learn how to perform tasks rather than require specific hardwired instructions.’ It turns out this encompasses a lot-think language processing in Amazon’s Alexa, or Google’s AlphaGo-and AI has recently even been able to produce art.
Because of this, artificial intelligence has always been close to cognitive science, even if the two have been somewhat far apart in practice.įunctional AIs have tended to do best at quickly finding ‘good-enough’ approaches to problems that are easy to state but whose solutions are difficult or tedious to describe explicitly.
The original dream of research in artificial intelligence was to understand what it is that makes us who we are.
