Just how smart are goldfish anyway?


A 'fish-operated vehicle'? Scientists teach goldfish to drive and find they're good at it

Using motion-sensing technology, including a top-down camera that monitors movement, a team at Ben Gurion University trained fish to reach a target via a "fish-operated vehicle," using food as positive reinforcement. The vehicle consisted of a robotic car bottom with a square fish tank placed on top.

When the camera sensed the fish driver swimming close to a specific side of the tank, it would send a signal to one of the vehicle's wheels.

The fish eventually "were able to operate the vehicle, explore the new environment, and reach the target regardless of the starting point, all while avoiding dead-ends and correcting location inaccuracies," the study said.
 
Can we scale this to replace select human drivers? It’s very umbrella academy.
 
I sense a fall in Uber stock.......
 
Does anyone know what tricks Emilie Clark was able to teach sharks? It is mentioned in a children's book that I read to my daughter regularly (she loves sharks).
