Artificial intelligence (AI) systems struggle to quantify human beings’ intuitive understanding of the world around them, even though such perceptions are readily developed by infants. Computer scientist Luis Piloto and his team modelled software that mimics infant cognition of basic objects. It allows AI, at the least, to express surprise at inexplicable changes in the physical realm.
