Exploring the Depths of AI’s Intelligence: Beyond Curve Fitting
Judea Pearl’s 2018 insights challenge the achievements of deep learning, asserting that they merely represent sophisticated curve fitting. As the debate around AI’s cognitive capabilities intensifies, two conflicting views emerge:
- Artificial networks cannot perform logic.
- Artificial networks are the best approach to AI.
Pearl questions the exclusion of rationality from intelligence. Is our brain simply a complex network of curve fitters? Key points include:
- Understanding cognition involves deeper mechanisms than just surface fitting.
- Human intelligence has not proven to be a significant adaptive trait in the grand timeline of life.
- Different AI paradigms, like Q-learning and fuzzy logic, challenge the surface fitting narrative.
These insights push us to redefine what true intelligence means.
