AI Develops its Own Language and Problems
March 7, 2019
Opportunity or new challenge: A language created by smart software without a human’s knowledge, input, or understand has arrived.
The rapid pace of artificial intelligence development is not news. For years we have seen these rapid advances on the horizon, but only recently have we reached that tipping point. One of the most interesting recent areas of growth were language, which can become an issue for some professionals. We discovered more from the recent Psychology Today story, “Google and Facebook AI Make New Linguistics Discovery.”
According to the story:
“The researchers found that “the success rates between self-play and paired-play are indistinguishable from each other, strongly implying that a common, shared language emerges as a social convention if and only if we have more than two language users,” and all “that is needed in order for a common language to emerge is a minimum number of agents.”
Machine generated “language”, known only to the machine, can be used to generate messages which may pose additional challenges to code breaking tools and human specialists.
