Modelling AGI After the Human Brain


The OpenWorm Project, nematode worms, and the brain are all topics on this episode of The AI Minute.

Transcript: When trying to build an artificial general intelligence people often look to the human brain as a model of an intelligent system. There's a widespread belief that the reason we don't understand how the brain works is simply because of the high number of neurons in a human brain, with around 100 billion. Unfortunately that isn't the only hurdle to understanding how human intelligence works. There is a small worm called the nematode worm. Seventy percent of all living creatures on the planet are nematode worms, and it had its genome sequenced. Its brain only has about 300 neurons, and there's been a project, the Openworm Project, which has been trying for 20 years to model the nematode worm brain inside a computer. They have not done it, and even those in the project admit that it may not even be possible. So human intelligence is more than a function of just the number of neurons we have. There is something about the interaction of them that we don't understand at all. http://bit.ly/2GCDKHL gigaomhttp://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.pngApril 26, 2019 at 03:35PM https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
