Study Finds Babies Far Outperform AI Chatbots in Language Learning, with Much Higher Efficiency

Summary

MIT Technology Review reports that babies vastly outperform AI chatbots in language learning ability and efficiency. Stanford cognitive scientist Michael C. Frank notes that even after years of progress, AI still requires massive data to match the language milestones a baby naturally reaches in about a year in an ordinary home. This efficiency gap challenges companies relying on scaling up models to achieve human-level AI.
