Jeff Hawkins on Artificial Intelligence - Part 5/5

The founder of Palm, Jeff Hawkins, solves the mystery of Artificial Intelligence and presents his theory at the RSA Conference 2008. He gives a brief tutorial on the neocortex and then explains how the brain stores memory and then describes how to use that knowledge to create artificial intelligence. This lecture is insightful and his theory will revolutionize computer science.

  1. Making the assumption that the world itself is arranged in a heirarchical structure, that’s the key.

  2. @dirtyharree can a person blind from birth, imagine what its like to see?

  3. @spacecowboy95 and the heirarchical structure of the memory somehow seems important, small amounts of input can be proccessed accurately because of the assumptions of how the world works, or something.

  4. I don’t know for sure, but I think not…enlighten me!

  5. well if a person who is blind from birth cant imagine what its like to see than when you said we dont have the capability to imagine nonsensical data, would mean that we know humans can interact with light sensical data, but a human who is blind cannot not imagine it, further more, if a blind person could imagine light sensical data or what its like to see, than one would say that a human can imagine what its like to interact with nonsensical data, because to a blind person, sight is nonsensical

  6. it might not be logical to kill everyone, maybe matrix type situation or better yet killing might be seen as a wast of resources so im not sure.

  7. well, philosophically this is similar to the ‘problem of other minds’. We cannot imagine other’s mental states. I don’t think blind from birth would have the same ‘imagination’ as those who can see.

    Along with other things, its your brain actually which develops the ’sense’ of ‘time’…I think machines will Never be able to achieve that.

  8. very interesting thought.
