New AI Refuses to Think Like a Human, Forms Its Own Understanding

 A new AI model from OpenAI, which uses a trial-and-error approach, has begun delivering surprising results on complex challenges. This method, previously seen in gaming AIs like AlphaGo, is now being adapted for a wider range of tasks, including language models.

DeepMind’s AlphaGo was the first AI to master a game without relying on human instructions or reading the rules. Instead, it used reinforcement learning (RL) to independently develop its understanding of Go.

This approach enabled AlphaGo to defeat the European Go champion 5-0 and later overcome the world’s top human player.

OpenAI’s latest model, o1, is producing remarkable outcomes on similarly complex problems. Like AlphaGo, o1 forms its own understanding of problem spaces through trial and error, without relying on human input....<<<Read More>>>...
