Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are already way ahead of us in certain areas – playing Go, for example, or crunching huge sets of data – but in other aspects AI is still a long way behind human beings, even just a few months after we're born
– but in other aspects AI is still a long way behind human beings, even just a few months after we're born.For example, even young babies instinctively know know that one object briefly passing behind another shouldn't vanish and reappear elsewhere. Presented with such a magic act, babies act with surprise.
"Luckily for us, developmental psychologists have spent decades studying what infants know about the physical world and cataloging the different ingredients or concepts that go into physical understanding," says neuroscientist Luis Piloto, from the AI research laboratory DeepMind in the UK. These concepts were put across through clips of balls falling to the ground, bouncing off each other, disappearing behind other objects and then reappearing, and so on. Having trained PLATO on these videos, the next step was to test it.
However, PLATO isn't quite up to the level of a three-month-old baby yet. There was less AI surprise when it was shown scenarios that didn't involve any objects, or when the testing and training models were similar.
