How Artificial Intelligence Found Itself by Felipe Longé 16.03.2012

To understand artificial

intelligence one must

first understand real intelligence…

Praemisus

Real intelligence is found in the brain and manifests possibility for a biological entity to do

The playground for real intelligence

So why can’t we go ahead and simulate this wet and slimy organ?

Isn’t our software and hardware good enough?

Difficult concepts or properties in the brain as a demand of intelligence

Philosophically, one will find three sections within the concept of free will

Do we really have free will (Libertarianism) ?

Physiologist Benjamin Libet have used fRMI to measure conscious choice

Activity was detected in the cerebral cortex

256 neurons were enough to predict elections with 80% certainty up to 700ms before subject being aware of it

It may be that all choices are made subconsciously

Neuroscientist Sam Harris wrote the following in his book named Free Will

How about quantum mechanics?

Does it leave any room for free will?

Vision, hearing, taste and smell, and the sense of equilibrium are all constructed in the brain

They must be impossible to simulate!

What about our senses?

A small piece of software which results in artificial intelligence does not seem to exist Learn all you can from biology Map all processes in the brain Build an immensely complex and generic system

It will be able to understand the signals at the same level as humans

Conclusion

Your brain is artificial intelligence.
