AGI, Sight and The Problem of Mary


Frank Jackson, the Problem of Mary, and experience are all topics on this episode of The AI Minute.

Transcript: The philosopher Frank Jackson created a thought experiment called the Problem of Mary. Mary is a hypothetical woman who knows everything there is to know about color. She knows it at a god-like level, everything right down to how the photons interact with the neurons in her brain and so forth. The catch in the set-up though, is that she's never actually seen color and then one day she opens the door and looks outside and sees red for the first time. The question that Jackson asks is did Mary learn anything new? You could say, “No, she didn't. She knew everything about color and she knew exactly what it would look like.” Others might say, “Yes, she could study color all she wanted to but until she saw it she wouldn't really know what it was like.” The reason this applies to artificial intelligence is simple. Can a computer ever see anything? Can a computer ever experience the world, which is different than just measuring it? The computer may not be able to do anything other than know everything about light, and if it’s not able to experience it as well we may not be able to build an artificial general intelligence. http://bit.ly/2Jhls1A gigaom May 02, 2019 at 04:35PM
