True AI doesn\u2019t exist yet, and it\u2019s not a likely near future, either. Despite analysis of science fiction movies and scientific reports that claim otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>People get excited when new breakthroughs in machine learning are publicized, like the CNBC interview with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=S5t6K9iwcdw\">robot named Sophia<\/a>. Sophia\u2019s ability to answer the interviewer\u2019s questions and stay on point is jaw-dropping for many. The truth is, Sophia isn\u2019t any closer to true AI than the last robot. She\u2019s programmed to provide better responses, and her lifelike appearance makes her impressive, but even Sophia isn\u2019t demonstrating true AI. She\u2019s not autonomous, and can\u2019t make her own decisions.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextbigfuture.com\/2018\/12\/will-mimicking-the-nervous-system-advance-artificial-intelligence.html\">https:\/\/www.nextbigfuture.com\/2018\/12\/will-mimicking-the-ner...gence.html<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frequently reported advances in artificial intelligence make some people curious, and others nervous.
