Can Humans Think?

چکیده
For many years, computer scientists have been concerned with whether computers can think. Considerable thought, therefore, goes into designing “thinking” computer systems and into wondering whether they really can think or just pretend to. On the other hand, it is “obvious” that humans can think, and therefore little thought has gone into the related question, “can humans think?” This paper explores the ergonomic implications of the affirmative answer. Computers get better treatment than humans, yet humans are more than machines. However not only do designers seem to forget this, but they don’t even treat users with the same respect as they would a machine.

Modeling Deep Strategic Reasoning by Humans in Competitive Games
The prior literature on strategic reasoning by humans of the sort, what do you think that I think that you think, is that humans generally do not reason beyond a single level. They think about others’ strategies but not about others’ reasoning about their strategies. When repeatedly faced with another who reasons about their strategies, humans learn to think one level deeper but the learning is...

متن کاملHow to Detect an Android
A number of prominent researchers in Artificial Intelligence look forward to a time when androids will co-exist with humans. In such a world the question ‘Can machines think?’ will be answered in the affirmative, if it is asked at all. A far more pressing problem will be whether androids can be differentiated from humans in some way. It is argued that an undetectable android cannot be manufactu...
متن کاملNothing Else Matters: Model-Agnostic Explanations By Identifying Prediction Invariance
At the core of interpretable machine learning is the question of whether humans are able to make accurate predictions about a model’s behavior. Assumed in this question are three properties of the interpretable output: coverage, precision, and effort. Coverage refers to how often humans think they can predict the model’s behavior, precision to how accurate humans are in those predictions, and e...
متن کاملTwo Level Recursive Reasoning by Humans Playing Sequential Fixed-Sum Games
Recursive reasoning of the form what do I think that you think that I think (and so on) arises often while acting rationally in multiagent settings. Previous investigations indicate that humans do not tend to ascribe recursive thinking to others. Several multiagent decisionmaking frameworks such as RMM, I-POMDP and the theory of mind model recursive reasoning as integral to an agent’s rational ...
