Kadi Tulver, arvutiteaduse instituudi kognitiivteaduse ja masinnägemise teadur Lugu sellest, kuidas Isaac Newton õunapuu all istudes murrangulise gravitatsiooniteooria peale tuli, on kõigile tuttav. Isegi kui mõned värvikad detailid on ilukirjanduslikult liialdatud, ilmestab see episood suurepäraselt ühte inimmõistusele unikaalset omadust – kuidas uudsed ideed mõnikord meile justkui tühja koha pealt pähe hüppavad. Püüdlustes luua tehisintellekti, mis […]
