The computer can be schizophrenic Bashny.Net

Although artificial intelligence has not yet invented, there is no doubt that very soon it will happen. A joint experiment, researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and Yale University has shown how great a potential danger computers.

To better understand schizophrenia, a group of scientists built a computer neural network capable to simulate an overabundance of dopamine in the human brain. The hypothesis was that an overabundance of dopamine makes the brain over-active. Usually people think briefly and to the point, allowing you to keep sanity. In the brain, dopamine schizophrenic too much - it creates a false association, and the brain receives so much information at once that it is impossible to distinguish the important from the unimportant.

The researchers called their network "discriminator" and taught the system to perceive language as a man, that is not as bits of data, but the information connected with cross-references. "Discriminator" "fed" a series of stories, and eventually he learned to their "understanding." Then, to simulate an excess of dopamine in the human brain, scientists have raised the speed of machine learning.

Soon the "discriminator" was schizophrenic - has created its own set of distorted associations. He answered questions disjointed lines taken from the strange situations that are "spied" in the stories - just suffering from delusions schizoid man distorts the elements of real life. In one case, the computer took over the responsibility for the terrorist act.

The results are certainly intriguing, but on their basis to prove a link between an excess of dopamine and schizophrenia can not. With mental illness related and other substances, for example, the amino acid glutamine. The body produces too much glutamate, when people take drugs such as phencyclidine (it is associated with many cases of temporary psychosis). If something can be learned from the experiment with the "discriminator" because that is what the car should be under human control.
