Well, yes, which is the point. If we don't know how our brains do this intelligencing, then how can we expect any program or machine to do the same? This is a part of the failure of AI research. Can't put the cart before the horse. Well, you can, but it probably won't work.
- threatofrain 12y agoWell it is possible that human-like intelligence is a lot harder to build, and that you are unnecessarily complicating your journey by asking for human-like intelligence straight off the bat as a requirement of definition. Like, I would think an AI that can perform capricious causal modelling from sensory or experimental data is already really sexy, even if it couldn't match up to human intelligence, or if it wasn't built in the same way as a brain. Or, an AI that can perform capricious maps or analogies between situations.
- superobserver 12y agoI'm not suggesting a HI emulation, actually. If you're interested, you can get a gist of what I'm suggesting by reading Hawkins "On Intelligence". The basic building blocks of intelligence in the brain will be the principles on which legitimate, workable AI research programs will have their first start. From there I'd anticipate radicalization and innovation based on a profound understanding of those principles which will have been shown to work. But we have to do that by understanding what intelligence actually is - and the best available model we have for that is human intelligence, and thus the human brain.
