Core Focus: AI, Language, and Ambiguity
Consciousness in AI: We explored the distinction between conscious-like processes in AI (like attention mechanisms) and true consciousness, highlighting that language models are not sentient.
Emotion and Algorithms: We discussed how algorithms analyze and simulate emotional expression (facial analysis, sentiment analysis), but don't genuinely understand emotions like humans do.
The Physicality of Spacetime: We delved into the idea that space is indeed physical, a framework with dynamic properties, and how that relates to the concept of time for understanding the universe.
Ambiguities of Natural Language: We examined types of ambiguity in human language (lexical, syntactic, etc.) and how context is crucial for resolving meaning, a challenge for AI models.
The Black-Box Problem and XAI: We focused on how AI can become less opaque. We discussed Explainable AI (XAI) methods and the potential of glass-box models to address the issue of explainability.
Social Media Sentiment Analysis: We looked at how social media uses a mix of opaque and transparent techniques to analyze user sentiment, raising questions about accuracy, privacy, and the need for more explainability.
