AI Neural Network Achieves Human-Like Language Generalization and Intelligence Capture
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Nature.com

Scientists have developed a neural network with the ability to generalize language, similar to humans. The AI system performs well in incorporating newly learned words into existing vocabulary and using them in different contexts, a key aspect of human cognition known as systematic generalization. This breakthrough could lead to more natural interactions between machines and humans. The neural network's performance surpassed that of the chatbot ChatGPT, which converses in a human-like manner but struggles with systematic generalization. The study demonstrates the potential for neural networks to emulate human cognition and improve language processing in AI systems.
