“The current big language model has no goals, and no real experience at all.” Professor Richard Sutton, winner of the Turing Award and one of the founders of the field of intensive learning, said at the “Intensive Learning Summer School” graduation ceremony held recently. The summer school is co-hosted by Shanghai Chuangzhi University, the School of Artificial Intelligence of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Openmind Research Institute. This is also the first time that Sutton, who is the chief scientist of the Openmind Research Institute, has taught his academic system of reinforcing learning in a systematic and complete manner in China. According to Sutton, the core of the mind is to experience interaction, and the current mainstream artificial intelligence paradigm completely ignores this. What he defines as an experience is interacting with the real world. The whole point of mind is to get feedback from the real world. However, nowadays, feedback is often simplified to a “reward signal,” and the goal of the system is to maximize this scalar value. This simplified logic does not fit the real mind. He said bluntly that the current big language model doesn't care about the real demands of humans; it only focuses on imitating human texts. The true mind, on the other hand, actively controls, understands one's own experiences, and actively predicts and interferes with the outside world.
