Smart machines, inspired by human brains, struggle with reasoning and applying knowledge flexibly. To really accelerate the progress of AI towards something that thinks like a human, we need to emulate the mind.

ARTIFICIAL intelligence has come a long way. In recent years, smart machines inspired by the human brain have demonstrated superhuman abilities in games like chess and Go, proved uncannily adept at mimicking some of our language skills and mastered protein folding, a task too fiendishly difficult even for us., understanding causality, applying knowledge flexibly, to name a few – AIs still struggle.

Some researchers think all we need to bridge the chasm is ever larger AIs, while others want to turn back to nature’s blueprint. One path is to double down on efforts to copy, better replicating the intricacies of real brain cells and the ways their activity is choreographed. But the brain is the most complex object in

the known universe and it is far from clear how much of its complexity we need to replicate to reproduce its capabilitiesThat’s why some believe more abstract ideas about how intelligence works can provide shortcuts. Their claim is that to really accelerate the progress of AI towards something that we can justifiably say thinks like a human, we need to emulate not the brain – but the mind.

“In some sense, they’re just different ways of looking at the same thing, but sometimes it’s profitable to do that,” says . “You don’t want a replica, what you want is to learn the principles that allow the brain to be as effective as it is.” …App + Web

Combining AI training methods towards hybrid system will be transformational. Combining vision,speech and language capability,not as separate tasks will improve models for converse with humans, respond to questions, and more.

AI writers have their places don't get me wrong , but left to write and article you will be left to edit for long periods.

'struggle with reasoning and applying knowledge flexibly' They've reached the level of 5% of Twitter users then?

Lame, I wouldn’t want my AI to think like a human.

How could smart machines be inspired by human brains? Have you met humans?

And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. Mark 4:24 KJV
