…at going unconscious during sleep does not, at first glance, seem especially adaptive). Studies of sleep in various non-human animals reveals a direct relationship between longer periods of NREM (Slow-Wave) Sleep and a stronger immune system, especially in fighting parasites. NRE...

… ability to make decisions? The answer is just more gradient descent. Our Brains As miraculous and inscrutable as our human intelligence is, science is coming around to the view that our brains operate the same way as any other complex system with layers and feedback loops, all...

…ith each other, via commonly acting on the AtomSpace knowledge repository. Comparing these diagrams to the integrative human cognitive architecture diagrams given in Chapter 5, one sees the main difference is that the CogPrime diagrams commit to specific structures (e.g. knowled...

… Wiener wondered how long it would take for machines to assume control. Wiener’s warnings about control systems beyond human control appeared in 1949, just as the first generation of stored-program electronic digital computers were introduced. These systems required direct super...

…s.”® That is why I say that prehistoric people, at least, were barely people. Both before and after becoming perfectly human both physiologically and in their mental potential, they were monstrously inhuman in the actual content of their thoughts. I’m not referring to their crim...

…has levels of intelligence, self awareness, and volition that is perhaps somewhat greater than, but still comparable to humans and other animals. Ethical questions under this scenario are very similar to interhuman ethical considerations, with similar consequences. Learning that...

…nted in the literature previously, including the work of others reviewed in Chapter 4. It covers all the key aspects of human intelligence, and explains how they interoperate and how they can be implemented in digital computer software. Part 1 of this work outlines CogPrime at a...

…store directly; b. Uncertain logic is a good way to handle declarative knowledge. To deal with the prob- lems facing a human-level AGI, an uncertain logic must integrate imprecise probability and fuzziness with a broad scope of logical constructs. PLN is one good realization. c...

…thm, structure or idea underlying general intelligence. The CogPrime approach is based on the intuition that to achieve human-level, roughly human- like general intelligence based on feasible computational resources, one needs an appropriate heterogeneous combination of algorithm...

110 Are the Androids Dreaming Yet? Frogs Eyes are Very Sensitive The processing power of the eye is staggering. The human retina has about 120 million rods and 7 million cones, giving it an average resolution of 10,000 by 10,000 pixels. Each rod is sensitive to individual photo...

Gorillas can crawl after 2 months, and build their own nests after 2.5 years. They leave their mothers at 3-4 years. Human children are pretty much useless during the first 10-12 years, but during each phase, their brains have the opportunity to encounter many times as much train...

Understanding 57 “The human mind tends to look for clear linear relationships, we like solutions that are close to the problem in time and space and make sense when we think about it quickly, unfortunately, those simple solutions are usually wrong and come from acting on a compl...

… modeling purposes, until schooling ends at full-time job entry. I model this transition at age 20. Pay, realized work, human depreciation and pure consumption all begin at that point, although human depreciation begins at essentially zero. Self-invested work continues as an im...
