The rapid development of GPT/ChatGPT, brings a new wave in AI development. But why it can enable intelligence emergence still largely remains as guess work today. Let’s pause for a moment to see if we can gain some hints to better understand the principles of GPT from the human cognition perspective. New discoveries in cognitive science could guide the direction of the research of artificial intelligence. With large-scale models, and large-scale real data collected in the human cognitive process, we may be able to emulate more precisely the human cognitive process. “Start like a baby, learn like a kid” (Credit: Prof. Josh Tenenbaum, MIT) may be a viable approach for us to better understand GPT. This talk will try to analyze the analogy of GPT and human cognition process, and point out GPT/ChatGPT not only represents the start of a new era, but also represents a path to artificial general intelligence.
