Neuroscientist and tech entrepreneur Jeff Hawkins claims he’s figured out how intelligence works—and he wants every AI lab in the world to know about it.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: the book A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence is a must read for anyone interested in how the brain is architected. Hawkins is an engineer and I've read his first book "On Intelligence" and followed Numenta for years. His latest describes his theory on how the brain is architected to create intelligence. What is fascinating is how he manages to describe his research in laymen terms with great real world examples. I suppose neuroscientist will find issues with it but not me. I find his theories to provide a balance versus books like "Superintelligence" (which I love but is more futuristic and conceptual) or the book "How to create a mind".

Raffi Khatchadourian on Nick Bostrom, an Oxford philosopher who asks whether inventing artificial intelligence will bring us utopia or destruction.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Perfect Sunday morning reading which is guaranteed to make you reflect and ponder for the next weeks. The article is a typical New Yorker one, very well researched and written. So captivating that it got me to start reading the book which appears to be as captivating and surprisingly easy to read and understand. I love those finds and have the feeling this book will be the best complement to "Singularity is Near" and "On Intelligence" that I wrote about in the past.
