The research and development of artificial intelligence continues to advance, but does it live up to its name?
The world’s leading neuroscientist Wolf Singer vehemently denies this.
vehemently. Every thought and natural perception, he says, is the result of millions of connections in the human brain. Artificial intelligences, however, lack the essential characteristics of natural neuronal networks. This means that they lack the ability to develop new ideas.
Together with Hannah Monyer, he explores the question in dialogue: Can’t artificial intelligence do much more than correlate, connect and select alternatives?
