If, after a long, intense meeting, you hear me closing with the statement “”Wow, that was a long walk”, blame @JeffCHawkins’ A Thousand Brains.

Question for a #CIO, his/her direct reports, and/or any other IT leader considering the adoption of #AI to solve a business problem: What is the most pressing question you have that still remain unanswered today?

(I’d be grateful for a re-sharing of this message, thank you)

Reading @JeffCHawkins’ “A Thousand Brains” after @kahneman_daniel’s “Noise” was very interesting. The former provided an unexpected context for many of the findings in the latter. Now I’m just waiting for @anilkseth’s “Being You” to see if more unexpected connections can be made.

And, as I said recently, I also recommend this book to any data scientist and machine learning engineer that is interested in a contrarian approach to designing #AI.

Overall, this is a must-read book if you are interested in a novel and contrarian idea about how the brain works and what intelligence is all about. I recommend focusing on part 1, then continue by reading the research papers, and only after, as optional, read parts 2 and 3. https://t.co/ACItMhQW3K

I have a feeling that “opium for the mind” is a definition that will be reassigned to VR eventually

A state-media outlet this month triggered a selloff in shares of Tencent after it published an article that described online games as “opium for the mind.”

The potential true reason why @Tesla has started working on the recently announced “Bot” is articulated in newest @JeffCHawkins book (which in specifically about either subjects): https://t.co/kK6rKN2y9o

“The folks with the power are the anonymous engineers, tweaking algorithms without clear awareness of what the impact might be.”

This is, so far, the most daring prediction in the book: an #AI designed after the Thousand Brains theory of intelligence, and therefore intelligent in the human sense (not as in today’s “artificial intelligence”), will be conscious. https://t.co/qqUXXFo9o9
