La visión humana: qué sabemos, qué no sabemos, y cómo esto limita los avances en inteligencia artificial
Next we will talk about visual perception, the scientific models that exist to explain perception, and the important limitations of all of them, which are often revealed when we observe visual illusions.
Finally, we will comment on how the incredible advances in artificial intelligence in recent years are based on using systems, called artificial neural networks, whose elements imitate the functioning of visual neurons but in a very simplified way: what we find is that Artificial intelligence systems suffer from serious problems, which do not affect humans, and which severely limit the effectiveness of these systems.
