Artikkel avaldati algselt Novaatoris. Ehkki tehisaru teeb üha rohkem inimeste elu mõjutavaid otsuseid, ei suuda see neid alati inimesele arusaadavalt põhjendada. Tartu Ülikoolis kaitstud doktoritöö osutab, et inimesed ootavad masinalt realistlikke ja usaldusväärselt mõjuvaid seletusi. Tehisaru teeb järjest rohkem otsuseid, mis mõjutavad inimeste elu. Seda kasutatakse haiglates diagnooside toetamisel, pankades laenutaotluste hindamisel ning hariduses õppijate […]

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.
