Pigeons, often considered a nuisance, are actually highly intelligent animals. Recent studies have shown that pigeons possess remarkable cognitive abilities and problem-solving skills that can match those of artificial intelligence (AI).
In a study conducted by researchers, 24 pigeons were given various visual tasks to solve. Some of these tasks were learned by the pigeons in a matter of days, while others took weeks. The researchers discovered that the mechanism pigeons used to make correct choices closely resembled the methods used by AI models to make accurate predictions.
Unlike humans who rely on rules and instructions, pigeons learn through trial and error. When presented with a visual stimulus, pigeons would categorize it and associate similar objects with the same category. This ability to identify similarities allows pigeons to learn complex tasks without the need for explicit rules.
Throughout the experiments, the pigeons’ ability to make correct choices significantly improved. For simpler tasks, their accuracy increased from 55% to an impressive 95%. Even when faced with more complex challenges, their accuracy rose from 55% to 68%. This ability to learn from consequences and correct errors showcases the pigeons’ remarkable cognitive capabilities.
Pigeons possess the ability to recognize patterns and find resemblances between objects. These two mechanisms, similarity function and pattern recognition, are also crucial in AI models. By utilizing these mechanisms, neural networks or artificial intelligence systems can effectively solve categorization problems.
The researchers behind the study aim to collaborate with scientists studying pigeons and their brains. They believe that these findings could provide valuable insights into understanding human brain damage. By further exploring the capabilities of pigeons’ cognitive abilities, researchers hope to gain a deeper understanding of the brain’s capacity to learn and adapt.
