AI still has serious weaknesses in recognising shapes, research shows

Despite hopes it could soon help drive our cars and power dishwasher-emptying robots, AI is still failing to recognise even the simplest of shapes – even reading cats as crossword puzzles. — dpa

NEW YORK : Humans can reliably identify a cat, butterfly, car or other objects and living creatures even when they appear as nothing more than a rough silhouette. For artificial intelligence (AI), however, this remains an impossible task.

Modern image-recognition programmes perform significantly worse than human observers when it comes to perceiving overall shapes and outlines, according to a research team led at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine, writing in the journal iScience .

尽管人们寄希望于人工智能很快就能帮助我们驾驶汽车，并驱动洗碗机清空机器人，但它至今仍无法识别哪怕是最简单的形状——甚至连猫都无法识别，更别提把猫当成填字游戏了。——德新社

纽约：即使只看到模糊的轮廓，人类也能准确识别猫、蝴蝶、汽车或其他物体和生物。然而，对于人工智能（AI）来说，这仍然是一项不可能完成的任务。

根据纽约大学格罗斯曼医学院的一个研究团队在《iScience》杂志上发表的文章，现代图像识别程序在感知整体形状和轮廓方面的表现明显不如人类观察者。
