Thousand brain model of human intelligence.

A Thousand Brains by Jeff Hawkins unveils a theory of intelligence that will revolutionize our understanding of the brain and the future of AI and humanity. With a foreword by Richard Dawkins, A Thousand Brains tackles one of science’s greatest mysteries: what is intelligence and how does the brain create it? In this video series, Jeff talks to Numenta VP of Marketing Christy Maver about his motivations behind the book, what readers can expect and what each of the book’s three sections cover.

Advance shows promise for “meta-bots” designed to deliver drugs or aid rescue missions.

The use of fire was a key factor in the evolution of Homo sapiens, not only for the creation of more sophisticated tools but also for making food safer, which in turn aided brain development.

To date, only five sites with fire evidence dating back 500,000 years have been found worldwide, including Wonderwerk Caves and Swartkrans in South Africa, Chesowanja in Kenya, Gesher Benot Ya’aqov in Israel, and Cueva Negra in Spain.

Now, a n Israeli research team has used artificial intelligence algorithms to discover a sixth site that shows traces of human fire! The study revealed evidence of human use of fire at a late Paleolithic site in Israel. The research results have been published in the journal PNAS.

Artificial intelligence has altered the practise of science by enabling researchers to examine the vast volumes of data generated by current scientific instruments. Using deep learning, it can learn from the data itself and can locate a needle in a million haystacks of information. AI is advancing the development of gene searching, medicine, medication design, and chemical compound synthesis.

In “Through the Looking Glass,” Humpty Dumpty says scornfully, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” Alice replies, “The question is whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
