Jeff Hawkins on Artificial Intelligence - Part 4/5

The founder of Palm, Jeff Hawkins, solves the mystery of Artificial Intelligence and presents his theory at the RSA Conference 2008. He gives a brief tutorial on the neocortex and then explains how the brain stores memory and then describes how to use that knowledge to create artificial intelligence. This lecture is insightful and his theory will revolutionize computer science.

wonder if somebody is attempting to use this sytem to make robots walk... by cross referencing input from the feet with some sort of gyroscopic slash load-bearing data.

@rsherfan Interesting. I think that idea has "legs!" :P

[johan28]

This is VERY fascinating!

I myself have thought about focusing on AI if and when I pursue my computer science degree. I was thinking it could be something I learn alongside programming itself. Good idea eh?

[Serpico261]

man this is just awesome

Nature proves again that complex structures require simple concepts...

take for example evolution by natural selection which covers everything biolog. we know

A theory that can even described in one sentence!

"The non-random survival of randomly changing genes over time"

It has an incredible simple theoretical basis, but is unbelievable powerful in its results

The mathematicl concepts of nature have to be simple, otherwise you would stuck in the field of improbability

@johan28 If you go into Theory and Computation, you will begin to work with AI and statistical algorithms. I based my graduate paper on Machine learning using HTM and Candidate Critique models. Interesting stuff.

[koolanator]

@johan28 I would suggest that you specialize in Theory and Computation. Once you get into school you will realize that Computer Science has as much to do with Programming as Astrology has to do with Telescopes.

You will mostly work with learning how to structure data, solve problems by manipulating and transferring algorithms, optimize existing algorithms, encryption and basic hardware design.

"people are trying to use in financial markets" - guess it din't work out that well eheh (joking)

[Abhothra]

thank you ever so much for uploading this,i've been trying to find this lecture for quite some time since i "ran into" him on TED.com

I cant wait to see what this will do to the field

@Juefawn "Your Highness"?

[UnowMe00]

@johan28 yeah, be sure to experiment and have good tools at hand (not so trivial search)!

[Slurfs]

Where can you get this software?!

[Juefawn]

What is this Hierarchy called?

[griptapesequel]

you have to go above your baccalaureate degree brov, so i hope youre in it for the long haul. I didnt learn almost anything REAL about AI until i started my graduate studies. Now that i got my masters im a going to start my Neuroscience degree now. Lets hope that goes just as easily as my mathematics-lades CompSci...
