AI just passed the Self-Awareness test
Here's the link.
What do you guys think about this? I've only done a little reading about artificial intelligence, and this article didn't really include a lot of details (as far as coding and algorithms goes) but I think this is pretty neat. I don't know if I would call this self-awareness, but the possibility seems pretty groundbreaking, if true. |
Sensationalist title; this is far from 'self-awareness' — this is just a demonstration of simple reasoning techniques in an area known as First-order logic. You can be given a set of statements (or rules), relationships can be made between those statements, and therefore you arrive at new conclusions.
There is at least one robot who speaks —> I'm able to speak —> Nobody else spoke —> I'm the only entity able to speak. The ability to solve such a problem is by no means an indication of 'self-awareness'. Impressive efforts in general, sure, but this isn't close to a machine resembling consciousness at all. |
Haha, this is hardly what I would call self-awareness. It's simply a matter of sound recognition and basic reasoning, as wakachamo said.
Also, just look at the comments for the article. I nearly died. Quote:

Thanks for raining on my parade, guys.
For real, though, I wouldn't really call it a feat of self-awareness, either. I find it neat that we're at the technological point where we can create programs capable of working through first order logic. I mean, sets of rules and procedures are what programming languages consist of, but this is the first time I'm hearing of a program that uses an additional system of logic to perform its functions - in this case, the "self-awareness test" of recognizing its own noises, despite being "told" it can't make noises. and I really want to see AI before I die, so any time I see something like this in the news I get excited hoping that progress is being made |
Yeah, it's really not that impressive sadly. I'm hoping we see some improvements within 10 years.

I'll start to worry when an AI achieves Skynet-like capabilities, thanks.
not bad for famous last words huh? |

This is actually very cool.
