The document discusses DeepMind's SCAN model, which aims to understand human intelligence and cognition by learning grounded visual concepts and the relationships between symbols and images in a way that mimics human vision and word acquisition. The SCAN model experiences the visual world like an infant and learns a concept hierarchy through language instructions provided with visual objects, mapping symbols to images bidirectionally, with the goal of imagining novel concepts guided by language.

4. Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that
artificial intelligence is almost a humanities
discipline. It's really an attempt to understand
human intelligence and human cognition.

16. The SCAN model experiences the visual world in the same way as a
young baby might during the first few months of life.
...learn a grounded visual concept hierarchy in a way that mimics
human vision and word acquisition, enabling it to imagine novel
concepts guided by language instructions
This is equivalent to word learning in infants, when adults start to
provide symbolic word labels for the various visual objects the infant is
seeing. For example, during this stage a parent might point their baby
towards an apple with the words: “Look, an apple!”.
