Because we have things like Quantum Field Theory that tells us the energy scales it's valid for, and it's experimentally checked to be valid for those scales.

Since the brain doesn't presumably contain supernovas, black holes or particle accelerators, that means that we have a basic theory covering the mechanics down.
- jcoffland 8y agoOne thing we do know is that we don't yet fully comprehend how the brain works. It's a little early to say it contains nothing we cannot simulate. Quantum interactions do not require high energy physics.

Suggesting that AIs have to look or behave like human brains in order to have human level intelligence is like suggesting that airplanes must flap their wings in order to fly. It seems far more plausible to me that any AI we build will be as alien to our way of thinking as a F-15 Eagle is to a bald eagle. Given that, I think it's important that we think about how we communicate with this AI, and how we ensure that it follows what we command it to do, rather than going off in its own direction, with negative consequences for human civilization. I think that the negative consequences of current AI should be warning enough that we need to worry about future, more capable AI.
