Mind-reading tech aims to make AI actually intelligent
For all its intelligence – and it can be extremely intelligent – giving instructions to AI can sometimes feel like talking to a toddler. You provide a detailed prompt explaining exactly what you want, and the AI does something that may be related to it, but definitely not what you meant. Scientists have now developed a system that can detect that unspoken “That's not what I meant” response directly from your brainwaves, potentially allowing an AI to realize it has misunderstood you and attempt to correct itself in real time.
Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), in collaboration with Microsoft Research Asia, created a brain-computer interface technique called Neural Value Alignment (NVA). The system uses electroencephalography(EEG) to detect different brain responses produced when a person sees an AI pursue the wrong goal or take an unexpected action. Those signals can then be used as...
