Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries, sparking innovation and driving transformative changes across numerous sectors. Central to AI’s power is its ability to learn from data through a process known as training. Traditionally, AI models have been designed to accumulate knowledge incrementally. However, new research suggests that “selective forgetting”—a concept inspired by human memory—can enhance AI performance and adaptability. Quanta Magazine brought this topic to our attention in their article, “How Selective Forgetting Can Help AI Learn Better.

Selective forgetting in AI involves dynamically adjusting the weight of past experiences during training to better incorporate new information or tasks. By imitating human memory processes, AI models can learn continuously, adapt to evolving conditions and avoid the pitfall of catastrophic forgetting. As this area of research progresses, selective forgetting promises to unlock new levels of AI capability, fostering innovation and driving transformative change across industries.
