Meta Is Studying the Human Brain, To Improve AI.

CNET reports Meta is embarking on a long-term research effort in an attempt to compare the ways humans learn language with how AI processes information.

A focus of the study is to help AI better anticipate words or ideas that would come next in a sentence or phrase.

Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI research scientist, said the study has the potential to improve AI for tasks such as virtual assistants.

Even though we see a huge progress in AI, it's still clear to many that we have a long shot before we reach human level intelligence, Jean-Rémi King, a research scientist at Meta AI, via CNET.

Meta, neuroimaging center NeuroSpin and INRIA in France have teamed up to observe how the human brain responds to certain words.

CNET reports researchers are already noticing key differences between how humans and AI anticipate words that should come next in a sentence.

One study conducted by INRIA found that while AI will typically predict the next word of a phrase.

Humans tend to anticipate sentences and plots that go much further.

That's probably a good signal that if we push these algorithms to…make predictions further ahead in time, perhaps you will make them learn more efficiently, Jean-Rémi King, a research scientist at Meta AI, via CNET.

King said that while studies such as these can likely help to improve AI, more research is needed
