The first psycho AI in the world
We have already mentioned the AI named Shelly
(Shelley.ai), which writes horror film scripts and publishes it on her Twitter
account. This AI, developed by the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) last year, can write authentic horror
stories. It uses deep learning to teach itself online.
Shelly, which has written more than 200 stories to
date, now has a formidable adversary: Norman, the first AI psychopath in the
world.
A team from MIT Media Laboratory, including Turkish AI expert Pınar Yanardağ, developed Norman
(norman-ai.mit.edu) in order to show how it will end when malicious data is
loaded into an AI.
While MIT describes it as an example study that shows
the dangers of AI when biased information is used in machine learning
algorithms.
Pınar Yanardağ said: “There is a thought in the center of
machine learning. The data that you use in the algorithm of the machine
learning is a determinant in its behaviors. Therefore, when we mention the AI algorithm is wrongly biased, mostly
the algorithm is not guilty, rather it’s the data that feeds the algorithm.”
But why was it named Norman? The team of three
researchers revealed that the name was inspired by Norman Bates, the lead character in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960-film “Psycho.” The character was played by
famous actor Anthony Perkins. Norman
the AI also uses an illustrated version of one Perkins' iconic images from the
film.
The AI was trained by the MIT team using a technic
platform called image captioning; a popular deep learning method of generating
a textual description of an image. They trained Norman on image captions from
an infamous subreddit that is
dedicated to document and observe the disturbing reality of death. Then, they
compared Norman's responses with a standard image captioning neural network on Rorschach inkblots; a test that is used
to detect underlying thought disorders. The results are quite frightening.
