Why we should thank pigeons for our AI breakthroughs

TL;DR


Summary:

- Researchers have trained pigeons to use reinforcement learning, a type of AI algorithm, to navigate a virtual maze and complete tasks.
- The pigeons were able to learn the maze and perform the tasks through trial and error, just like how AI systems learn.
- This research shows that even simple animals like pigeons can exhibit complex cognitive abilities similar to AI, providing insights into how intelligence and learning can emerge in both biological and artificial systems.
