Andrew The Robot, Tests of Intelligence, Mis v. Dis Information, Generative v. Predictive AI Flashcards
Would you consider the robot, Andrew, to be intelligent? Explain why or why not using specific examples from the movie clip.
Yes. When Andrew jumped out the window, he decided to ring the doorbell, wait for someone to come to the door, and even apologize for the inconvenience when someone opened the door. Since someone did not directly command Andrew to do this, it gave the impression that Andrew is intelligent since he learned this rather than being told.
Example sentence: Andrew’s actions show his ability to make decisions and act independently.
When the young girl, Amanda, tells Andrew to jump out of the window, he does without any second thought. Why do you think this is? Do you think he knew that following this command would lead him to be damaged? Explain.
When Andrew jumped out the window, he did so without thought because he was commanded to, and he was likely built to answer to commands. Although, I do not think he knew this would lead to him being damaged, I do believe that he was aware it was a strange or out of the ordinary command. After Andrew was ordered to jump out the window, he tilted his head to the side as if the command confused him, but he still decided to submit to the order.
Example sentence: Andrew’s obedience to commands shows his lack of free will.
What part(s) of Andrew makes him feel ‘humanlike’. What part(s) go against this feeling?
Andrew’s body shape, and facial features all make Andrew ‘humanlike’. In particular, his eyebrow movements contribute to his facial expressions, contributing even more to his ‘humanlike’ parts. But, the fact that he speaks in a robotic voice and does not have human biological features, like skin, makes it clear that Andrew is robotic.
Example sentence: Andrew’s appearance and behavior create a mix of humanlike and robotic qualities.
When Andrew comes to the front door after falling out of the window, he makes a statement as he is malfunctioning, after being asked what happened: “For the sake of family harmony, one is programmed not to tell.” What does this statement signify about his intelligence? What does it say about his understanding?
The statement signifies that Andrew does have some type of intelligence. Although he was ordered to reveal what happened, he chose not to “…for the sake of family harmony”. This implies that Andrew has learned and now understands family dynamics and the importance of peace, which lead him to make the personal decision to stay silent.
Example sentence: Andrew’s statement demonstrates his ability to prioritize relationships and peace over sharing information.
Turing Test - Origin, What, How
- Origin: Alan Turing, 1950
- What: Imitation game to determine human v. AI Intelligence
- How: If a researcher asks a human and an AI the same question while in two separate rooms, and the researcher cannot tell which is human and which is AI, the AI passes the test and displays human intelligence.
Turing Test - Cons & Concerns
- Test Cons: Focused on only general and narrow tasks. Very superficial (meaning if it imitates a human, it MUST be smart.)
- Concerns: Since machines are not human but are trusted, how can you take advantage of the good while trying to avoid falling into a trap when a bad option is provided?
Bloom’s Taxonomy (1956) - What is It?
Reveals the six levels of thinking. In this case, it refers to how intelligent AI is.
Bloom’s Taxonomy - Name the six levels.
- Remembering - Find/Remember Info: list, find, name, identify, locate, describe, memorize, define
- Understanding - Make Sense of Info: interpret, summarize, explain, infer, paraphrase, discuss
- Applying - Use Info in New But Similar Form: use, diagram, make a chart, draw, apply, calculate, solve
- Creating - Use Info to Create: design, build, plan, construct, produce, revise, invent
- Evaluating - Critically Examine Info/Make Judgements: defend, test, critique, criticize
- Analyzing - Take Info Apart/Explore Relationships: categorize, examine, organize, compare/contrast
What is Misinformation? Provide an example.
- What: false & inaccurate
- Example: Someone says something costs $10, but the grocery store says $12.
What is Disinformation? Provide an example.
- What: false & misleading w/ the purpose to deceive with an objective
- Example: Someone actively spreads lies about someone with the goal to convince and mislead others.
What is Generative AI?
Creates data, using models that learn patterns & structures from input training data, to produce new similar data (images, videos, etc.), explores new ideas
What is Predictive AI?
Identifies patterns in past events to predict the future, good for planning & estimating
