#CookingFail #MemoryFail"Why AI must learn to forget"
Stimulating article from Ali Boyle on the importance of #forgetting for #memory in humans and #AI.
The current stumbling block is that we don't yet understand how forgetting works! It's not an action we seem able to control.
To forget might be "to fail to access something that is both learned and either inaccessible or intended to be accessed" (Frise), but we're not sure.

We think of our tendency to forget as a cognitive defect. When it comes to Artificial Intelligence, we could eradicate this human limitation by creating machines with infallible memories. But forgetting is in fact crucial both for smoothing out social interactions, and for the proper functioning of our memories. The same would be true of AI. Machine intelligence that never forgot would be both socially dangerous and cognitively inefficient, argues Ali Boyle.
