The best AI systems train on text with a word count in the trillions, whereas children receive just millions per year.<\/p>\n<p>Due to this enormous data gap, researchers have been skeptical that recent AI advances can tell us much about human learning and development. An ideal test for demonstrating a connection would involve training an AI model, not on massive data from the web, but on only the input that a single child receives. What would the model be able to learn then?<\/p>\n<p>A team of New York University researchers ran this exact experiment. They trained a multimodal AI system through the eyes and ears of a single child, using headcam video recordings from when the child was 6 months and through their second birthday. They examined if the AI model could learn words and concepts present in a child\u2019s everyday experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI systems, such as GPT-4, can now learn and use human language, but they learn from astronomical amounts of language input\u2014much more than children receive when learning how to understand and speak a language.
