Many companies are keeping an eye on AI-related news. Among the companies, Microsoft stands out, as it has also been showing interest and has asked several questions about the operation of the technology.
Have you heard of the algorithm? Among the various concepts related to the thought algorithm, one is being very well explained by Álvaro Machado Dias, who is a master, doctor, post-doctor and associate professor and associate professor at the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp)
Inspiration in the human brain
Algorithms are based on artificial intelligence and started with the perceptron (1958). This is a digital learning system, considered very simple, which was inspired by the functioning of neurons.
The software was inspired and responded to our inputs, however, the explosion in the use of social networks and the web with their recommendation algorithms has changed the whole scenario. From one moment to the next, the most of these algorithms began to be extracted so that short and superficial things were posted instead of large texts with content.
thought algorithm
Algorithms have become ubiquitous, transcending the field of entertainment. One of the most notable effects is the changes it causes in the brain itself, as shown by studies of British taxi drivers.
In the year 2000, some resonances were performed in the brain of these professionals and showed that they had hypertrophied hippocampus because of the need to learn the map of London, which is very complex.
In 2017, the replication of the procedure showed that the gain had been reversed, thanks to the use of the waze.
“The thinking algorithm is this mind/brain molding process by algorithmic technologies. This affects our decision-making (we decide a lot less), reasoning, working memory and, above all, preferences.”
ChatGPT and derivatives
Language algorithms like ChatGPT should push the algorithmization of thinking to hyperbolic levels. It is something that needs to be part of the public debate, as it will impact neurodevelopment, professional life and even the way seniors relate to the world.
