GrooveSquid.com’s goal is to make artificial intelligence research accessible by summarizing AI papers in simpler terms. Each summary below covers the same AI paper, written at different levels of difficulty. The medium difficulty and low difficulty versions are original summaries written by GrooveSquid.com, while the high difficulty version is the paper’s original abstract. Feel free to learn from the version that suits you best!
| Summary difficulty | Written by | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| High | Paper authors | High Difficulty Summary Read the original abstract here |
| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary This paper, “Making AI Intelligible,” explores whether artificial intelligences (AIs) and humans can share concepts and communicate effectively. The authors, Herman Cappelen and Josh Dever, draw upon the externalist tradition in philosophy to develop models for understanding between AIs and humans. Their work demonstrates how this philosophical approach can be improved and expanded to facilitate more efficient communication. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This paper is about helping artificial intelligence (AI) machines understand us better. The authors are philosophers who use their ideas to create ways for AI and humans to share meanings. They show that this way of thinking can be used to make AI more intelligent, or able to learn from us. |
