Thinking Fast and Slow in AlphaZero and the Brain

Sebastian Bodenstein
Jun 16, 2020

In his bestseller 'Thinking, Fast and Slow', Daniel Kahneman popularized the idea that there are two fundamentally different process of thought: a 'System 1' process that is unconscious and instinctive, and a 'System 2' process that is deliberative and requires conscious attention. There is a growing recognition that machine learning is mostly stuck at the 'System 1' level of cognition, and that moving to 'System 2' methods are key to solving long-standing challenges such as out-of-distribution generalization. In this talk, AlphaZero will be used as a case-study of the power of combining 'System 1' and 'System 2' processes. The similarities and differences between AlphaZero and human learning will be explored, along with drawing lessons for the future of machine learning.
