Do you think it would be possible to train an AI in such a way as to mimic/simulate someone that is diagnosed as "Special Needs"?

Why? Most diagnosis and treatments for people today are subjective, sure it's what a group of like-minded professionals has agreed upon as a valid hypothesis, but, at the same time, there is an absence of the absolute. Could we train an AI to become a "special needs" be a starting point in helping find better ways to unlock the potential and understanding of these differences?

    Creating an AI to accurately simulate any human behaviour to the level at which we could learn from the AI would, currently, be a huge leap beyond our current capabilities. – Lio Elbammalf Jul 09 '19 at 10:30

    To back up Lio's point, training an AI to behave like any kind of life form in order to simulate even a subset of interactions with it, is currently a tall order. You can forget any mammals for a few years yet, let alone humans. – Neil Slater Jul 09 '19 at 12:28
  • This leads to another question: Why train an AI to be "special needs"? Now you have a "special needs" robot, and you're back where you started: How do you decipher what differentiates them? – FreezePhoenix Jul 09 '19 at 15:26
  • I don't think this is a good question for this site. It could be a good starter question for a PhD, but I wouldn't expect the question itself to be answered in the eventual thesis. – MSalters Jul 12 '19 at 15:27
