Every intelligence has to be taught. A human brain, which is genetically primed to categorize things, still needs to see a dozen examples before it can distinguish between cats and dogs. That's even more true for artificial minds. Even the best-programed computer has to play at least a thousand games of chess before it gets good. Part of the AI (Artificial Intelligence) breakthrough lies in the incredible avalanche of collected data about our world, which provides the schooling tha AI needs. Massive databases, self-tracking, web cookies, online foootprints, terabytes of storage, decades of search results, Wikipedia, and the entire digital universe became the teachers making AI smart.
The example of a human brain is used to illustrate that artificial intelligence is taught by teachers in the same way that students are taught at schoo. True/False
