Man versus Machine: Machine wins a chess game. Completes the Rubik’s cube before you did. Wins the Go Championship. Machine provides structured answers. Such instances are at best examples of specialized intelligence or at worst “fake intelligence”.
Intelligence, or general intelligence, is the ability to understand contextual information AND the ability to understand language AND motor skills AND the ability to acquire knowledge & experience, infer, understand & question.
Okay got that! So how do we get to function like a brain?
The Theory of Connectivity propagates that there is a simple algorithm that underlies the brain’s computations. And algorithms, irrespective of where they are housed, in a calculator or in the human brain, the maths will still work. Silicon or Carbon.
So you figure out those neurons that form functional cluster and use it to create Artificial Intelligence. And we are up for some serious discussion about the future when bio, nano, energy, robotics and technology achieve singularity and make a profound impact on people, business and society.
THE NEXT INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION?
Artificial Intelligence is a big revolution, far far away from the 1st when we mechanized production, moved to mass production and then automated production in the last revolution.
