Science Documentary: Cognitive science , a documentary on mind processes, artificial intelligence
Cognitive science is the study of mind process as it relates to humans as well as machines and other forms of technology and electronics. There are several disciplines that brought cognitive science into existence, such as anthropology, psychology, linguistics, philosophy, neuroscience and artificial intelligence. This documentary will focus on what cognition is and on how it relates to artificial intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence is the study of cognition in machines, computers, robots, etc. In the early stages of Cognitive science, it was the general belief that the mind had specific functions, like that of a computer. The idea being that, if a human can apply algorithmic problem solving techniques with the abundant storage capacity of the brain, then if the same algorithm were programmed into a computer with an even greater storage capacity, then the computer would in fact be comparable to a human. This was referred to as the computer model of the mind.
Although great strides have been made in computer processing power, robots which we can consider cognitive equals have not yet been realized. This is because, although a computer program can be designed to solve very sophisticated problems, there are several human aspects that, so far, seem unreachable. For example, human emotions of love, fear, embarrassment, happiness, sadness, etc. are aspects of our lives that we take for granted. However, a machine would need to first be programmed to know what each specific emotion is, then when the appropriate time would be to use each emotion. That problem facing Artificial Intelligence is no small task to surmount, only the future will tell if it is possible to overcome.
