The article presents a new method for extracting knowledge from AI systems, focusing on AlphaZero, an AI system that has mastered chess. The researchers propose using AI not just as problem-solving machines, but as learning machines that can teach us the principles behind their decisions. The study indicates that AlphaZero may possess knowledge beyond current human understanding, but such knowledge is not beyond human grasp and can be learned from. The research suggests that these concepts can be learned by human experts, as evidenced by improvements shown by top chess grandmasters. The findings could have significant implications for how we interact with AI systems across various applications.
