    One of The Sunday Times Business Books of the Year Artificial intelligence is smarter than humans. It can process information at lightning speed and remain focused on specific tasks without distraction. AI can see into the future, predicting outcomes and even use sensors to see around physical and virtual corners. So why does AI frequently get it so wrong? The answer is us. Humans design the algorithms that define the way that AI works, and the processed information reflects an imperfect world. Does that mean we are doomed? In Scary Smart, Mo Gawdat, the internationally best-selling author of Solve for Happy, draws on his considerable expertise to answer this question and to show what we can all do now to teach ourselves and our machines how to live better. With more than 30 years' experience working at the cutting-edge of technology and his former role as chief business officer of Google [X], no one is better placed than Mo Gawdat to explain how the Artificial Intelligence of the future works. By 2049, AI will be a billion times more intelligent than humans. Scary Smart explains how to fix the current trajectory now, to make sure that the AI of the future can preserve our species. This book offers a blueprint, pointing the way to what we can do to safeguard ourselves, those we love and the planet itself.

  • In essence, Hawkins argues that, to whatever extent the concept of “consciousness” can’t be boiled down to brain theory, it’s simply a bunch of hooey.

      Not true!
  • in which conscious experience is more foundational than physical systems or linguistic communications
  • Conscious experiences are associated with patterns, and patterns are associated with physical systems, but none of these is fully reducible to the other.

  • He makes the correct point that roughly-human-level AI’s will have dramatically different strengths and weaknesses from human being, due to different sensors and actuators and different physical infrastructures for their cognitive dynamics.  But he doesn’t even touch the notion of self-modifying AI – the concept that once an AI gets smart enough to modify its own code, it’s likely to get exponentially smarter and smarter until it’s left us humans in the dust.

      Совершенно не имеет отношения к теме, подход Хокинса легко масштабируется до сверх- и сверх-сверх-сверхчеловеческого интеллекта.
  • therefore if AI closely enough emulates the human brain it won’t radically self-modify either
  • Rather, I think the problem is that the field of AI has come to focus on “narrow AI” – programs that solve particularly, narrowly-defined problems – rather than “artificial general intelligence” (AGI). 
  • cognitive science, artificial general intelligence, philosophy of mind and abstract mathematics

      т.о. Гортзел признается, что вообще принимает и не считает нужным принимать нейронауку в расчет, т.е. опирается только на эмпирические представления о том, как работает сознание.
  • So what we’re doing is creating commercial narrow AI programs, using the software framework that we’re building out with our AGI design in mind.

      и в этом его большое отличие от платформы Хокинса, которая имеет одинаковую структуру для всех ее применений
  • I tend to largely agree with his take on the brain
  • I think he oversimplifies some things fairly seriously – giving them very brief mention when they’re actually quite long and complicated stories.  And some of these omissions, in my view, are not mere “biological details” but are rather points of serious importance for his program of abstracting principles from brain science and then re-concretizing these principles in the context of digital software.
  • One point Hawkins doesn’t really cover is how a mind/brain chooses which predictions to make, from among the many possible predictions that exist.

      тут он вроде бы прав...
  • Hawkins proposes that there are neurons or neuronal groups that represent patterns as “tokens,” and that these tokens are then incorporated along with other neurons or neuronal groups into larger groupings representing more abstract patterns.  This seems clearly to be correct, but he doesn’t give much information on how these tokens are supposed to be formed. 
  • So, what’s wrong with Hawkins’ picture of brain function?  Nothing’s exactly wrong with it, so far as I can tell.
  • But Edelman then takes the concept one step further and talks about “neural maps” – assemblies of neuronal groups that carry out particular perception, cognition or action functions.  Neural maps, in essence, are sets of neuronal groups that host attractors of neurodynamics.  And Edelman then observes, astutely, that the dynamics of the population of neuronal groups, over time, is likely to obey a form of evolution by natural selection.
  • How fascinating if the brain also operates in this way!

      да нифига... слов нет
  • Hawkins argues that creativity is essentially just metaphorical thinking, generalization based on memory.  While this is true in a grand sense, it’s not a very penetrating statement.
  • Evolutionary learning is the most powerful general search mechanism known to computer science, and is also hypothesized by Edelman to underly neural intelligence.  This sort of idea, it seems to me, should be part of any synthetic approach to brain function.
  • Hawkins mentions the notion, and observes correctly that Hebbian learning in the brain is a lot subtler than the simple version that Donald Hebb laid out in the late 40’s.   But he largely portrays these variations as biological details, and then shifts focus to the hierarchical architecture of the cortex. 
  • Hawkins’ critique of AI, which in my view is overly harsh.  He dismisses work on formal logic based reasoning as irrelevant to “real intelligence.” 
  • So – to sum up – I think Hawkins’ statements about brain function are pretty much correct
  • What he omits are, for instance,   The way the brain displays evolutionary learning as a consequence of the dynamics of multiple attractors involving sets of neural clusters The way the brain may emergently give rise to probabilistic reasoning via the statistical coordination of Hebbian learning
  • Learning of predictive patterns requires an explicit or implicit search through a large space of predictive patterns; evolutionary learning provides one approach to this problem, with computer science foundations and plausible connections to brain function; again, Hawkins does not propose any concrete alternative.
  • crucial question of how far one has to abstract away from brain function, to get to something that can be re-specialized into efficient computer software.  My intuition is that this will require a higher level of abstraction than Hawkins seems to believe.  But I stress that this is a matter of intuitive judgment – neither of us really knows.
  • Of course, to interpret the Novamente design as an “abstraction from the brain” is to interpret this phrase in a fairly extreme sense – we’re abstracting general processes like probabilistic inference and evolutionary learning and general properties like hierarchical structure from the brain, rather than particular algorithms. 
    • Matvey Ezhov
      Matvey Ezhov on 09 Sep 09
       
      наконец-то он сказал это
  • Although I’m (unsurprisingly) most psyched about the Novamente approach, I think it’s also quite worthwhile to pursue AGI approaches that are closer to the brain level – there’s a large space between detailed brain simulation and Novamente, including neuron-level simulations, neural-cluster-level simulations, and so forth.

Perceptual Learning Relies On Local Motion Signals To Learn Global Motion - 0 views

  • The brain first perceives changes in visual input (local motion) in the primary visual cortex. The local motion signals are then integrated in the later visual processing stages and interpreted as global motion in the higher-level processes. But when subjects in a recent experiment using moving dots were asked to detect global motion (the overall direction of the dots moving together), the results show that their learning relied on more local motion processes (the movement of dots in small areas) than global motion areas.
  • show that the improvement in detection of global motion is not due to learning of the global motion but to learning of local motion of the moving dots in the test.

  • "Scientists are now able to switch the focus from particular regions of the brain to the connections between those regions," says Sherif Karama, a psychiatrist and a neuroscientist at McGill University's Montreal Neurological Institute.
  • A quantifiable "general intelligence factor," known as g, can be statistically extracted from scores on a battery of intelligence tests.
  • In 2001, Thompson showed that it is correlated with volume in the frontal cortex, a result consistent with a number of studies that have linked intelligence to overall brain size.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • In 2007, Jung and Richard Haier, now professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California, Irvine, developed the first comprehensive theory drawn from neuroimaging of how the brain gives rise to intelligence.

      Attention! To Research.
  • As we "evolved from worms to humans," says George Bartzokis, a professor of psychiatry at UCLA, the number of non-neural cells in the brain increased 50 times more than the number of neurons. He adds, "My hypothesis has always been that what gives us our cognitive capacity is not actually the number of neurons, which can vary tremendously between human individuals, but rather the quality of our connections."
  • The type of MRI typically used for medical scans does not show the finer details of the brain's white matter. But with a technique called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which uses the scanner's magnet to track the movement of water molecules in the brain, scientists have developed ways to map out neural wiring in detail. While water moves randomly within most brain tissue, it flows along the insulated neural fibers like current through a wire.
