Humans still have an advantage

 








Artificial intelligence may have many attributes, and it is clearly being used in many different ways and situations, but apparently it doesn't defeat humans in all cases (so far, at least).

Humans Outsmart AI in Risky Decision Making

The human brain can make decisions quicker than the world’s most powerful computer in critical risk situations.

"To design the CHARM [Complex Harmonics Decomposition] model, the researchers start from a paradigm of analysis of brain dynamics that we could compare to the Internet. In certain scenarios, such as risk situations, neurons distributed in different brain regions, both close to and far from each other, are joined by different connections. These connections enable pooling the information processing power of all the neurons in the network. Thus, although groups of neurons located in different brain regions have a limited capacity to transmit information, when they pool their resources in a network, they attain far greater processing power. This paradigm has gained strength over the past decade, as opposed to the traditional approach whereby neural regions only function in a localized manner."

"The researchers have found that the efficiency of long-distance connections is enhanced when the brain is dominated by critical dynamics, which lead it to a state of transition between order and chaos. “We could assimilate this state to a transitional phase like the process whereby water becomes ice. At this critical point, the brain has exacerbated properties”, Deco explains."
