Brain-inspired approach can teach AI to doubt itself just enough to avoid overconfidence

Most contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) systems learn to complete tasks via machine learning and deep learning. Machine learning is a computational approach that allows models to uncover patterns in data that are useful for making predictions. Deep learning, on the other hand, is a subset of machine learning that entails the use of multi-layered neural networks, which can autonomously extract features and learn complex patterns from unstructured data, sometimes with little or no human supervision.
