Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Some of the greatest discoveries don't come merely from observations but from thinking. Einstein developed theories ab out relativity through thought experiments, and Galileo derived insights about g ravity through mental simulations. A review published September 18 in the journa l Trends in Cognitive Sciences shows that this process of thinking is not exclus ive to humans. Artificial intelligence, too, is capable of self-correction and a rriving at new conclusions through "learning by thinking." "There are some recent demonstrations of what looks like learning by thinking in AI, particularly in large language models," says author Tania Lombrozo, a profe ssor of psychology and co-director of the Natural and Artificial Minds initiativ e at Princeton University. "Sometimes ChatGPT will correct itself without being explicitly told. That's similar to what happens when people are engaged in learn ing by thinking."
