No. Real AI is like fusion power. It will arrive in 40 years, for any definition of now. We are barely scratching the surface of our knowledge of the brain.

No. Real AI is like fusion power. It will arrive in 40 years, for any definition of now. We are barely scratching the surface of our knowledge of the brain. We are orders of magnitude away from its processing power. We dont even have an agreed upon definition of consciousness. Will ever get there? Sure. But first we will see prostheses like vision and augmentation mind computer interfaces.
- fnid 17y agoDo you believe that Real AI must be modeled on the brain? I'm not sure that is a requirement. I think we can produce AI without fully understanding the brain. I expect AI to be something greater than the brain. If we use the brain as a guide or the summit of achievement, then at most we'll get only as smart as a human, or group of humans considering the massive amount of information storage and retrieval possible. I don't know... I wonder.
- russell 17y agoActually, I dont think real AI will be modeled on the brain, but I do think understanding the brain will be key. There are 100 billion parallel processing components with some significant fraction of a quadrillion interconnections. I think that there is a lot to learn there.
- roundsquare 17y agoIs there some definition of "Real AI" that I'm missing? A quick google search doesn't show me anything useful.
