• Resumen

  • A team at Google's DeepMind has developed a virtual 3D laboratory called Psychlab in which both humans and machines can take a range of simple tests and compare their cognitive abilities. The tests were originally designed by psychologists to isolate and evaluate specific mental faculties in people, such as the ability to detect a change in an object that disappears and reappears. Now it is Al's turn. In initial tests, DeepMind's machine learning software was better at some tasks than others. The AI excelled at visual search--finding a given symbol in a group of others--but failed miserably when asked to track the position of multiple symbols on a screen.
