The brain is not a computer, nor are current computers anywhere near brains. But we can, and will, create truly intelligent machines that work
like brains. And we will create them
in our lifetimes.
Since Turing's initial foray, innovators and researchers have approached the quest of creating intelligent machines from many angles, yet most attempts fell well short of early hopes and expectations. Recent developments, however, are far more promising than those of the last century.
Perhaps the most promising new idea for machine intelligence is Jeff Hawkin's memory prediction framework, a comprehensive, biologically-based theory of intelligence that he presented in his 2004 book,
On Intelligence.
