h2cm = 'GI - General Intelligence'?


"In 1990 a paper curiously- titled "Elephants don't play chess", published by Australian roboticist Rodney Brooks, ushered in the idea that artificial intelligence could become smarter by learning as the human brain does. Building simple connections that gradually become more complex could help AI emulate the way we think."


"AGI [artificial general intelligence] is a really tough problem, making something that is as flexible and efficient across a wide range of domains as a mammalian brain is a tough challenge.."


"In a new paper published in Nature yesterday, DeepMind unveiled how an area of AI , known as reinforcement learning, has shed new light on the way the brain learns. ... At the heart of the paper is a new idea of how dopamine works. Known as the "motivation molecule" or "surprise signal", dopamine has come to be of significant interest." Chowdhury, 2020.
