Scientists have shown that computers can go crazy

Creepy predictions of science fiction come true. It seems that the car is indeed able to rise up against humanity, and it is not a fairy tale of the "Terminator". Scientists have found out: it turns out, the computers go to uma.

It found American researchers from the University of Texas. It turns out that the phrase "mad robot" or "crazy computer" is not an invention of those who wrote scary stories about an apocalyptic future of our technological civilization. Interestingly, the experiment was carried out by scientists in one of the advanced computer technology, which is likely to be the basis for the cars of the future - in the neural network. It is these networks in the development of innovative technology are seen as effective.
It should be remembered that they represent a system of interconnected and interacting simple processors, or more precisely, artificial neurons. The technology has been praised their abilities in the field of self-study and recognition. It is known that the neural network is not programmed and trained and are able to analyze the relationship between inputs and outputs. Trained network even detects erroneous or distorted svedeniya.

For their experiments, the Americans chose the neural network called Discern. By and large, researchers have tried to identify the mechanisms of human schizophrenia, but their experiment showed that the car is prone to fall into madness. Download the neural system can be a variety of objects: text characters, images, sound samples. However, scientists have invested in everyday information such as that which our brain receives in real-life situations.
The information is repeated thousands of times on the basis of growth snowball. According to the current theory of schizophrenics due to excessive release of the hormone dopamine brain remembers too many facts, which then take the form of crazy conclusions. Something like that was modeled in the computer. As a result, the system has become literally carry nonsense, creating fantastic conclusions, and even took responsibility for some terrorist vzryv.

As confirmed RBC daily, researcher at the Laboratory of Information Technology Management robotics St. Petersburg Institute for Informatics and Automation of RAS Alexei Bakuradze, neural network actually works similarly to the cerebral cortex: "Such a network similar to the human brain and in architecture. They have analogues such as bonds, which have in the structure of the brain ».
"If we analyze this reaction neural network Discern, you can assume that there is some error and allowed the network itself is built inefficiently - adds the scientist. - From the result in the form of so-called computer symptoms of schizophrenia. Of course, sometimes people go crazy, but it is associated with disturbances in the brain, in the case of a computer system can talk about the technical errors in the architecture of the neural network, the more that modern networks are incredibly complex and have many layers. Sub-optimal structure failed to provide self-learning system, and the network acted as a schizophrenic ».
