It's not a conscious entity, but it's a network good at what it's trained for. Since the network is frozen, it doesn't really learn anything or trying to "outplay" anyone (let alone it doesn't know there's an opponent). While it's impressively crafted machine learning, we shouldn't rush to call it AI. It seems like it's showing the right direction though, and, who knowns, the "intelligent conscious agent" part may one day be built on top of this, with the same building blocks.
- visarga 11y agoIf we made a Turing test based off Go, then would a Go player be able to tell when playing against a human or when playing an AI? That's why I think AlphaGo does manifests consciousness, in its play. It is not conscious of what we are conscious about, but rather limited to the domain of Go play. It might even have developed concepts about the game that are completely alien to us, maybe untranslatable to us.
- return0 11y agoI think it would be a stretch to say that now. The neural net acts like a big lookup table atm , even if its states contain high level concepts. However, consciousness is a human concept, so the system should be coupled to another, expressive system that we could relate to, and communicate with. Thats why the turing test is proposed through language communication and not some other limited vocabulary.
