摘要

Abstract

Considerable evidence proves that causal learning and causal understanding greatly enhance our ability to manipulate the physical world and are major factors that distinguish humans from other primates. How do we enable unintelligent robots to think causally

answer the questions raised with "why" and even understand the meaning of such questions? The solution is one of the keys to realizing artificial intelligence. Judea Pearl believes that to achieve human-like intelligence

researchers must start by imitating the intelligence of children

so he proposed a "causal inference engine" to help future artificial intelligence make causal inference

pass the Minimal Turing Test

and even become a moral subject who can discern good from evil. This study attempts to provide some insights into the development of children's education from basic assumptions and construction goals of artificial intelligence

and to reflect on the causal model of artificial intelligence through children's education.
