People vs. AI Learning

For both humans and machines, learning cycles assume that learning is a process, so the learning styles can be rationalized. 

In an advanced global society with dynamic reality, people have to keep learning agile. Limitations on learning are barriers set by humans themselves, as learning is a continuous process, and everyone has an enormous capacity to learn and never stops learning. 

Humans and AI learn in different ways, though there are some similarities. Humans learn through a combination of association, conditioning, imitation, and problem-solving, often restructuring relationships in their environment to understand new concepts. AI, particularly through machine learning, learns by identifying patterns and making data-based decisions using algorithms.

Human Learning

-Association: Connecting sensations with awareness to form ideas, influenced by closeness in space or time, similarity, frequency, and attractiveness.

-Conditioning: Associating a previously irrelevant stimulus with a particular response, reinforcing new behavior patterns.

-Problem Solving: Humans reorganize their perception to gain insight, which depends on prior experience.

-Reasoning: Combining information from separate sources to reach new conclusions, including inductive and analogical reasoning.

AI Learning

-Machine Learning: Enable computers to learn autonomously by identifying patterns and making data-based decisions.

-Neural Networks: Mimic the human mind, using weighted decision paths to process information and adjust connection weights based on examples.

-Genetic Algorithms: Simulate natural selection, refining algorithms to create increasingly effective programs.

-Unsupervised Learning: AI discovers patterns in data without being told what to look for.

Differences of Human & AI Learning: Human learning often involves restructuring relationships and subjective sensory impressions, while AI relies on algorithms and statistical models. AI can process vast amounts of data quickly but may lack the nuanced understanding and adaptability of human intelligence. Both humans and AI can exhibit biases in their learning and decision-making processes. 

For both humans and machines, learning cycles assume that learning is a process, so the learning styles can be rationalized. Learning needs to go deeper and deeper, and understanding should become more profound and interdisciplinary.
