Artificial brain could be reality in just 10 years
- jsonscripter 17y agoIt's perpetually 10 years away. They've been saying this since the first computers started calculating.
- Retric 17y agoAt some point it will be 10 years away. I don't think we are there yet, but it's probably closer than you think.
- troystribling 17y agoAlso, it needs to be taken into consideration that the group making the claim does have a working model of portions of a rat brain.
- brfox 17y agoNow we just need a way to map the connections of an existing brain.
- tocomment 17y agoI guess they have done this with the portion of the rat brain they are modeling? Can anyone confirm this?
- anigbrowl 17y agoNext time, might I suggest linking to TED directly instead of the Daily Fail, which is pretty much guaranteed to distort whatever interesting finding or plan is being reported on.
- glymor 17y agoThey also spelt his name wrong which seems gratuitous. My guess is his TED presentation was similar to this one http://seedmagazine.com/designseries/henry-markram.html http://seedmagazine.com/designseries/henry-markram.html It's worth noting that he's attempting to construct physiological simulation (to better understand the biology). His goal isn't to create a AI.
- jacquesm 17y agoWell, mr. Makram is on the record now, let's see if he delivers. From elements of a rat brain to a functioning artificial human brain seems to be quite a step in only 10 years, but who knows. If you don't aim high you'll never hit anything.
- sound2man 17y agoCould be possible if you are talking a 4chan poster's brain.
- teilo 17y agoI find assertions like this pure hype, and unbecoming of a scientist. It also belies a cock-sure arrogance that asserts that we already enough enough about how the brain works to accurately model even a very small portion of it. So, now I will go on record, not being a scientist: In 10 years we will understand the brain to be vastly more complex than we ever imagined, because after attempting to model it, we uncovered a whole lot of stuff that we didn't know about. And that is also why projects like Makram's are worthwhile.
- giardini 17y agoMay prove true, but Blue Brain likely won't be involved!8-)) But seriously, I tend to agree with jsonscripter: it's always 10 years away. - still waiting for my flying car.
