00:00Imagine that you need an expert for something like this, for diagnosing and correcting a condition, a brain condition.
00:08So what we've done is really put the expert in the machine.
00:12And so then what does the expert need to do?
00:15Let's just say it's a child that has to be diagnosed and the intervention has to be given to the child.
00:21The expert has to interact with the child in some way and observe what is going on.
00:27So then Dissolve AI creates a game, generates a game or builds a game and gives it to the child through the device and the child plays the game.
00:37So now there's a way for Dissolve AI to observe what happened.
00:42Was the child able to do this language activity or were there errors?
00:46Now if it's correct, then Dissolve AI will give another game to probes perhaps some other area.
00:53But if there's an error with this particular activity, then Dissolve AI wants to figure out what is going on and probe some more.
01:02And if the result is kind of vague and fuzzy, Dissolve AI has to think, hmm, this is interesting.
01:11What am I going to do next?
01:13But unlike me, where I have to sit there and think about it for a while, Dissolve AI has to act immediately.
01:20So Dissolve AI will just generate these game after game after game so that the child doesn't have to wait.
01:26And for language processing, it's got to be done super fast.
01:30So the question is, why do we build a computer expert system?
01:34Why wasn't human experts sufficient to do this, right?
01:38So there are three factors.
01:40One is complexity.
01:41The other one is speed.
01:43And then the third one is capacity.
01:45So let me handle one at a time.
01:47Complexity.
01:48This is a language processing issue.
01:51And so we have to consider the linguistic system of the brain.
01:55And that's like a super complex system, like a large computer operating system with millions and millions of lines of code.
02:03So any part of the system can have these inefficiencies to different degrees.
02:08How is a human going to find them?
02:10That's one.
02:11The other one is, as I said, you can't make the child wait.
02:15So it's a matter of speed.
02:17And natural language is processed super fast in the brain, under a second, hundreds of milliseconds, in parallel.
02:24Many, many things happening at the same time.
02:26So there's no way for a human to record it and to calibrate it or to calculate it.
02:33The third one, of course, is scale.
02:36Even if one person can handle one child, how about the 30 million students around the country?
02:42At least 30 million with this kind of condition.
