A rat, A pigeon and an AI

Описание: 🧠 What a Rat, a Pigeon, and AI Teach Us About Learning | Inductive Bias Explained

What do a rat avoiding poison, a superstitious pigeon, and modern artificial intelligence have in common?
Surprisingly, they all reveal a deep truth about how learning really works.

In this video, we explore the fascinating difference between useful learning and false pattern-making through real psychology experiments and relatable examples. You’ll discover why a rat can make a life-saving generalization from one bad meal, while a pigeon ends up performing a pointless ritual—and how this exact problem appears in machine learning and AI systems today.

We break down:
🔹 The difference between memorization and generalization
🔹 Why BF Skinner’s pigeon experiment went wrong
🔹 How animals (and AI) form patterns from experience
🔹 What inductive bias is and why it’s essential for learning
🔹 Why AI without the right assumptions becomes “superstitious”
🔹 How this idea applies to real-world systems like self-driving cars and spam filters

This video shows that the goal of AI is not to remove bias, but to design the right bias—the same way evolution shaped learning in animals.

Perfect for:
✅ AI & Machine Learning beginners
✅ Psychology and cognitive science enthusiasts
✅ Students and curious minds
✅ Anyone wondering how AI actually “learns”
