"Computer scientists have created an artificial intelligence (AI) that can probe the 'minds' of other computers and predict their actions, the first step to fluid collaboration among machines -- and between machines and people."
"Theory of mind is clearly a crucial ability,' for navigating a world full of other minds, says Alison Gopnik, a developmental psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley, who was not involved in the work. By about the age of 4, human children understand that the beliefs of another person may diverge from reality, and that those beliefs can be used to predict the person's future behavior. Some of today's computers can label facial expressions such as 'happy' or 'angry' -- a skill associated with theory of mind -- but they have little understanding of human emotions or what motivates us."
"The new project began as an attempt to get humans to understand computers. Many algorithms used by AI aren't fully written by programmers, but instead rely on the machine 'learning' as it sequentially tackles problems. The resulting computer-generated solutions are often black boxes, with algorithms too complex for human insight to penetrate. So Neil Rabinowitz, a research scientist at DeepMind in London, and colleagues created a theory of mind AI called 'ToMnet' and had it observe other AIs to see what it could learn about how they work."
"ToMnet comprises three neural networks, each made of small computing elements and connections that learn from experience, loosely resembling the human brain. The first network learns the tendencies of other AIs based on their past actions. The second forms an understanding of their current 'beliefs.' And the third takes the output from the other two networks and, depending on the situation, predicts the AI's next moves."
