How do we measure if Artificial Intelligence is acting like a human?

Generative AI has been all the rage in 2023, with folks using ChatGPT, Midjourney and other tools to create text, images and more. But all those solutions have relied on cloud computing to tap into billions of conditions called parameters that answer user queries.

But the world won't have to wait too long to see what the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is capable of. At the Summit, Xiaomi Group president William Lu revealed that the Xiaomi 14, which uses the chipset, will launch on Thursday. The phone will use Xiaomi's own proprietary AI model.

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence is defined as the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. AI is also defined as,

 

An Intelligent Entity Created By humans

Capable of Performing Tasks intelligently without being explicitly instructed.

Capable of thinking and acting rationally and humanely.

A layman with a fleeting understanding of technology would link it to robots. They’d say Artificial Intelligence is a terminator like-figure that can act and think on its own.

Cognitive Modelling Approach

As the name suggests, this approach tries to build an Artificial Intelligence model based on Human Cognition. To distil the essence of the human mind, there are 3 approaches:

 

Introspection: observing our thoughts, and building a model based on that

Psychological Experiments: conducting experiments on humans and observing their behaviour.

Brain Imaging: Using MRI to observe how the brain functions in different scenarios and replicating that through code.

The Laws of Thought Approach

The Laws of Thought are a large list of logical statements that govern the operation of our mind. The same laws can be codified and applied to artificial intelligence algorithms. The issue with this approach, is because solving a problem in principle (strictly according to the laws of thought) and solving them in practice can be quite different, requiring contextual nuances to apply. Also, there are some actions that we take without being 100% certain of an outcome that an algorithm might not be able to replicate if there are too many parameters.

 

The Rational Agent Approach 

A rational agent acts to achieve the best possible outcome in its present circumstances.

According to the Laws of Thought approach, an entity must behave according to the logical statements. But there are some instances, where there is no logical right thing to do, with multiple outcomes involving different outcomes and corresponding compromises. The rational agent approach tries to make the best possible choice in the current circumstances. It means that it’s a much more dynamic and adaptable agent.

Now that we understand how Artificial Intelligence can be designed to act like a human, let’s take a look at how these systems are built.

If you ask about artificial intelligence an AI researcher, (s)he would say that it’s a set of algorithms that can produce results without having to be explicitly instructed to do so. The intelligence demonstrated by machines is known as Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence has grown to be very popular in today’s world. It is the simulation of natural intelligence in machines that are programmed to learn and mimic the actions of humans. These machines are able to learn with experience and perform human-like tasks. As technologies such as AI continue to grow, they will have a great impact on our quality of life. It’s but natural that everyone today wants to connect with AI technology somehow, may it be as an end-user or pursuing a career in Artificial Intelligence.
