Jeff Hawkins on Artificial Intelligence - Part 3/5

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.

It is such an honor to know that I am a working example of all this.

@Avetis5 haha

[TheDivineDaniel]

he he, and my brain thinks it's funny that your brain is learning about itself ;-)

[maxkwlk]

ha! my brain is learning about itself.

At 1:48 My brain is recieving alot of noizy data but all it reconizes is this piece, this piece, piss piece

[chad80210]

Yea, ha, do you find your brain feeling a little shy to have John Elway expose its nuances?

I wonder...when we create a computer or some electronic device that over time it acquires true artificial intelligence by developing consciousness, free will, and the ability to replicate itself...I wonder, when that happens, will its replicas think of the original unit as their God? I the only thing that I love more than science fiction is science FACT. I believe we're on the verge of many mind boggling breakthroughs in various fields of science and technology.

@wlorenz65 OK, now I have it: The parent reports the next SONG to its children, and not the next note. Therefore the child can report back the name of the song as soon as it hears the first note, even if there are several songs starting with that note. It's just a way to resolve ambiguities.

[wlorenz65]

At 2:20: How can a parent report to his child which note to expect next when the children do not pass the notes to their parents but only the name of the song?

@Avetis5  me too

@koolanator I guess he did something. Of course, thousands of computer scientist and operation researcher bachelor, masters, and doctoral degrees are produced each year. I think they are all equally noteworthy. They are all equally worthy of respect and admiration for their sacrifice and hard work.

So, don't worry: I'm not saying "Jeff Hawkins is a nobody who achieved nothing" - nothing like that.

I just mean for people ALWAYS to keep their admiration in balance.

@mphello I don't really care about the guy, but his research is exciting to me... I based my graduate paper on machine learning via HTM's and Candidate Critique models.

[koolanator]

@mphello I'm not quite sure where your hostility towards this guy is coming from... honestly interested to know why you don't like the guy.

But the majority (and i can't give numbers, because I don't know them) of his worth comes from Palm - which is a public company, the rest of his money comes from his research facility at Berkeley. And the majority of the money that comes out of this facility comes from other companies who see potential in his technology. Automobile navigation, security etc.
