We have an example: The brain. We can learn really fast with limited data. There are no laws of physics that are preventing us to do the same with an artificia

  None of the "AI" systems that have been making splashes in the news recently are very much like the human brain. There are AI research efforts that are seeking to directly map and mimic the structure of the brain; however, they are not at a place where they can remotely demonstrate practical results. To the best of my understanding, it would take several further orders of magnitude more processing power to simulate a full human brain at anything close to speed. It is not at all impossible that we will be able to do this someday. But, as TFA says, we are not close.

    > None of the "AI" systems that have been making splashes in the news recently are very much like the human brain. Why do you believe that this is relevant? Our brain is just the product of natural evolution; running on hardware that is already incredibly inferior in several critical aspects (processing speed, bandwidth and information storage density), and the only holdout--computational power/watt--exists because we have no good way to compare it. Why would it be necessary or even helpful to COPY that biological implementation to achieve superhuman cognitive capabilities?

      Because...the person I was replying to was talking specifically about the human brain?
