We taught the robot what fish and trash look like. Which of the creatures below does our robot not recognize?
Our goal was to build a robot that could tell trash apart from fish and separate the trash. But we saw that it also identified different kinds of sea creatures as trash! Oh no! We need to do something quickly so it learns to recognize sea creatures!
Why couldn't our robot correctly recognize sea creatures?
Correct answer: Because we didn't show it pictures of sea creatures during training. If the robot sees something that wasn't in its training, it usually makes a mistake or guesses with low confidence. Robots only understand well the things whose patterns they've seen and learned before.
Reviewing the other options: Option 1: Robots aren't naturally smart beings, and they often make mistakes too. But our robot couldn't recognize sea creatures because it didn't know what a sea creature was (we hadn't trained it), not because it isn't smart.
Option 3: Robots don't have feelings like humans do, and the things they do are based on the training they've received.
OK, we realized that the training we gave our robot was incomplete. We hadn't shown it all sea creatures, we had only taught it about fish. So let's go complete the robot's training! 🐟🦈
