Cognitive Science will change artificial intelligence

The world is fixated on Sophia, the robot these days and her journey into the world. Sophia is a product of artificial intelligence technology & is currently being studied by many researchers and scientists to connect the distinctions between humans and machines. It is so marvelous to see these machines running on AI technology, operating independently, learning from their environment & interacting like humans.
Artificial Intelligence is developing & advancing to claim the human-level intelligence. It is time to acknowledge methods & principles being used to deploy the abilities of these machines & making them think like humans. It is important to ask if this is even possible?
Artificial Intelligence has made a lot of progress with the help of multiple intelligence theory such as:

-         - Logical-Mathematical Intelligence which uses logical reasoning and problem-solving methodologies

-          - Linguistic Intelligence which uses computational linguistics, spoken language recognition, and synthesis

-          - Spatial Intelligence using computer vision, spatial and imagery reasoning

-          - Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Intelligence using AI agents that interact with each other, creating self-awareness and emotion in AI

-          - Musical Intelligence is the understanding of music and creation

-          - Bodily-Kinaesthetic Intelligence which is related to robotics and so on.

These are few of the general methodologies and algorithms, helping to develop human-like introspection and intuition to solve a variety of problems. The most important of them all is Cognitive Science, the study of how the human mind works and mental processes, drawing various principles from psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience. Artificial Intelligence is nothing but an attempt to create cognitive beings, mapping out to understand all the cognition, human or otherwise.

I have invested a lot of time analyzing the use of AI, Machine Learning, Blockchain, Security etc. in the higher education space and how cognitive science is transforming the way education is imparted.

Last decade saw AI addressing several challenges in learning, which included language processing, reasoning, planning and cognitive modeling. AI helps to organize and synthesize content with deep learning systems emulating human behavior. The progress using AI and Machine Learning in education has been impressive but there is still a lot of work which needs to be done for advancing in the science of learning.

Artificial intelligence along with cognitive science is capable of bringing change & growth in learning & building unique pathways for individual learners. There are technologies like virtual mentors, analyzing the interaction data that are helping to address issues like interconnectedness & accessibility of classrooms worldwide.
Letâ??s keep the positives in mind, AI can play a role for number of purposes in the education field:
- It can help communicate with autistic students, pick their facial expressions & non-verbal cues which is otherwise quite difficult for a human to do.
- It can help act as a proxy for teachers in online learning programs. This would help lot of students benefit from distance learning
- It will help digital learning become more prominent in the coming years.
Bottom Line
The way AI and other technologies are being used in classrooms today; very soon we will see AI help in the development of the minds, giving a boost to the way we interact, transforming the way we treat each other and how we lead our lives.
