Does artificial intelligence have a mind?
In contrast, weak AI assumes that machines do not have consciousness, mind and sentience but only simulate thought and understanding. A basic assumption for artificial consciousness is that it be found in the physical world of machines and robots (Manzotti and Chella, 2018).
Can AI learn like humans?
As we have seen from Google’s MultiModel, AI can certainly learn to become general-purpose learners like us. However, getting there will still take some time. There are two parts to this: meta-reasoning and meta-learning. Meta-reasoning focuses on the efficient use of cognitive resources.
Is artificial intelligence exaggerated?
Many studies claiming that artificial intelligence is as good as (or better than) human experts at interpreting medical images are of poor quality and are arguably exaggerated, posing a risk for the safety of ‘millions of patients’ warn researchers in The BMJ today.
Does a sense of humour make you smarter?
Comedians scored higher than students not only on humour production but on verbal intelligence as well. All of this is fine and good, and proves that intelligence often results in a more advanced sense of humour. But what about humour’s impact on the brain? Is it a two-way street? Can cultivating a sense of humour actually make you smarter?
Later the same year, Wierzbickia & Young tested three predictions about verbal humour: (a) intelligence is positively related to comprehension of humor; (b) difficulty of comprehension is positively related to appreciation; (c) intelligence and task difficulty interact in humor appreciation.
Do intellectually gifted students have a more advanced sense of humour?
He suspected that intellectually gifted students would possess a more advanced sense of humour, noting that “many theories believe that the key concept of humor is understanding incongruity, and this involves a mental process similar to problem solving.”
How does humour affect children’s brains?
Stanford researchers have even begun to understand specifically how humor activates different areas in a child’s brain. Findings reported in the Journal of Neuroscience show that some of the same brain circuitry that responds to humour in adults already exists in 6 to 12 year-olds.
