Groundbreaking MIT Research Indicates That AI Can in Fact Teach Other AI Models

MIT researchers published a groundbreaking research paper demonstrating how an AI system can in fact utilize human-like learning processes to improve its own performance on benchmarking tasks.

What’s the biggest difference between an AI model and a human brain?

Over time, myriad answers have been given—the brain is more energy-efficient, more multifaceted in its media of input, and also chemically enabled in addition to being electrical—yet the human brain’s most important feature is its amazing plasticity. If a patient’s body part (like fingers, a hand, or even entire limbs) is severed, the neural sensorimotor region corresponding to that body part, now devoid of a nerve ending to connect to, will almost instantly start adapting, with the neurons “switching” to help other nerve centers in controlling other body parts. Plasticity also helps humans ingrain ideas and skills: as the saying ...
