He offers&nbsp; alternative paradigms to artificial intelligence, addressing issues about body model, language, origins of language, origins of symbols, evolution, cooperation, and about how a mind could grow in artificial agents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI systems are being utilized to tackle complex problems through (deep) reinforcement learning. However, their limitations are becoming evident, particularly in areas like perception, where sensitivity to specific features can make them fragile. For instance, AI systems struggle to generalize when faced with different lighting conditions in image recognition tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, the big talk about conversational interfaces has gained significant attention, with systems like Google Lambda and OpenAI&#8217;s GPT, valued at billions of dollars. However, there are concerns about the accuracy and trustworthiness of the generated content. Misinformation and errors in texts produced by conversational AI pose risks to the information ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another issue lies in the use of AI to generate new content, such as images and code. Copyright and accuracy problems arise when AI utilizes existing works to create new ones. The inherent flaws in AI technology make it challenging to ensure the correctness and reliability of generated content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luc Steels advocates for combining a knowledge-based approach with data-driven AI to address the complexity of real-world problems. He emphasizes the importance of considering fundamental problems before releasing AI technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his work, Steels draws from the perspective of complexity, tracing its roots in AI research since the 1950s. He explores the idea of &#8220;scala naturae&#8221; which focuses on intentional stances and how entities possess self-recognition, subjective experience, and awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steels conducts numerous experiments to understand how complexity emerges in artificial systems. By studying the interactions between multiple autonomous robots and their emergent behaviors, he gains insights into cognition and mental capabilities. This complex systems approach helps shed light on open problems in neuroscience, such as the origins of color categories and self-awareness in robots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, Luc Steels is a pioneering linguist and AI researcher who seeks alternative paradigms for artificial intelligence.His work emphasizes the need to address fundamental problems and complexities in AI technologies to ensure their responsible and effective use in real-world applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Hind Aboulazm<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">_________________________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luc Steels est un linguiste et l&#8217;un des principaux penseurs en intelligence artificielle et en robotique. Son travail se concentre sur le d\u00e9veloppement de paradigmes alternatifs pour l&#8217;intelligence artificielle, abordant des questions telles que le mod\u00e8le corporel, le langage, les origines du langage, les symboles, l&#8217;\u00e9volution, la coop\u00e9ration et le d\u00e9veloppement de l&#8217;esprit chez les agents artificiels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Il souligne les limites de l&#8217;intelligence artificielle actuelle, notamment dans le domaine de la perception et de la fragilit\u00e9 des syst\u00e8mes face \u00e0 la g\u00e9n\u00e9ralisation des caract\u00e9ristiques.
