マインドとは何ですか?

マインドの証明された定義はありません

マインドは、知性のインスタンス化として定義することができます。

心は知識の集まりとして定義することができます。

考え、感じ、そして意味することは心またはノウハウですか?

マインドはただの大きなコンピューターですか?


認知科学

認知科学は心のプロセスの研究です。

認知科学者は知性と行動を研究します。

認知科学は、脳細胞が情報を処理および変換する方法に焦点を当てています。

認知科学はまた、インテリジェントなコンピューターアルゴリズムを開発する方法を学ぼうとします。

メンタルモデル

メンタルモデルは、外部の現実の内部像です。

科学者は、モデルが推論と意思決定(認知)において主要な役割を果たすことを期待しています。

Kenneth Craik suggested in 1943 that the mind constructs "small-scale models" of reality when trying to anticipate events.

The image of the world around us, which we carry in our head, is just a model.
Nobody in his head imagines all the world, government or country. He has only selected concepts, and relationships between them, and uses those to represent the real system.

Jay Wright Forrester, 1971.


Can AI Be Human?

Scientists are trying to discover what separates human intelligence from artificial intelligence.

What is the status? What is the future?

Reactive Machines

チェス

Early AI systems were reactive. Reactive systems cannot use past experience.

In 1997 a reactive machine ("IBM Deep Blue") beat the world champion in chess.

"Deep Blue" could not think. But it was stored with information about the chess board, and the rules for moving chess pieces.

"Deep Blue" won because it was programmed to calculate every move to win.


Machine Learning

Today, AI systems can use some information from the past.

One example is self-driven cars. They can combine pre-programmed information with information they collect while they learn how to drive.


Theory of Mind

Theory of Mind is a term from psychology about an individual's capacity for empathy and understanding of others.

This is an awareness of others being like yourself, with individual needs and intentions.

One of the abilities language users have, is to communicate about things that are not concrete, like needs, ideas, or concepts.

Simon Baron-Cohen, British psychologist and professor at the University of Cambridge, argues (1999) that "Theory of Mind" must have preceded languages, based on knowledge about early human activities:

  • Teaching
  • Building Shared Goals
  • Building Shared Plans
  • Intentional Communication
  • Intentional Sharing of Topic
  • Intentional Sharing of Focus
  • Intentional Persuasion
  • Intentional Pretending
  • Intentional Deception

Self-Awareness

In psychology, "Theory of Mind" means that people have thoughts, feelings and emotions that affect their behavior.

Future AI systems must learn to understand that everyone (both people and AI objects) have thoughts and feelings.

Future AI systems must know how to adjust their behavior to be able to walk among us.

The last step, before AI can be human, is machine consciousness.

We can not construct this software before we know much more about the human brain, memory, and intelligence.
