On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins

“On Intelligence” by Jeff Hawkins

1.  What is Intelligence and how does the brain create it?
   1. The Brain is a memory system

                                                             a.      Intelligence is based on Predictions        

1. Our predictions are based on Patterns
2. Real Intelligence
   1. Neural networks

                                                             a.      Connectionists

1. Real brains process rapidly changing streams of information. Nothing is static about the flow of information into and out of the brain.
2. Real brains are saturated with feedback connections.
3. Real brains have a complicated physical architecture. Most notably the neocortex.

                                                            b.      Functionalists

1. Organization
2. Artificial intelligence.
   1. Produces human like behavior
   2. Artificial neural networks
   3. Auto associative memories
3. N eocortex
   1. Contains memory and allows us to predict.

                                                             a.      Skills, memory, knowledge.

1. Patterns are the currency of intelligence.
2. Memory is auto associative.
