Teaching Robots 101
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuSkcLY0YQg Supposing that we will be the creators of superintelligence, we also have to act as instructors, as teachers. In my mind the training of robots should not be much different than the one already being used in humans. It seems rather realistic to me that they will have to learn through interaction with others and with the environment. What seems rather unrealistic is the existence of a school or a university for robots. We will have to use our creativity on this matter. The truth is we have already found some ways of teaching them. There is the backpropagation algorithm, mainly used in artificial neural networks. Each neural network is composed by nodes, which act like neurons. Each node is connected to other nodes and this connection is characterized by its weight. The bigger the weight the stronger the connection is between two nodes. The way this algorithm works is by calculating and adjusting the weights backwards (the whole proced...
