Please human, can you teach me how to AI?
How can we obtain an AI -whatsoever intelligent- to be human-like, or how can we humans teach an Artificial General Intelligence to be itself?
In the exploding era of computing (ubiquitous, mobile, quantum or whatever suits you better) there’s still a sacred Graal we struggle to reach without success, even if we look closer every Moore’s law step we advance: Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Back in 2010 or so, in my days as Bioengineering MSc at University, I had my 10 minutes epiphany. I suddenly pictured that, some day, a reinforcement learning implementation general enough on a hardware powerful and beautiful enough might have led to a so-called strong artificial intelligence or artificial general intelligence. Indeed for those who do not chew machine learning at breakfast, this may look something really cool, but moving to a more concrete reality my realization was much more pragmatic.
Narrow Artificial Intelligence
In “traditional” Artificial Intelligence approaches, you pick for a task (the one you think it is worthy enough to be tackled) and put in place a supervised learning technique. This means you take some pre-computed couples of problem data and related results, you put an AI to sit and learn them, and you expect it to generalize so to solve correctly a new…
