This blog discusses the evolution of machine intelligence and potential future options for machine intelligence evolution.

Human Intelligence and Machine Intelligence, what is the Difference?

Making computing machines mimic living organisms has captured the imagination of many since the dawn of digital computers.According to Charles Darwin, the difference in mind between humans and higher animals, great as it is, certainly is one of degree and not of kind. Human intelligence stems from the genome that is transmitted from the survivor to the successor. Machine intelligence stems from humans representing how knowledge can be represented as a sequence of symols (data structures) and operations on them (programs), also represented as a sequence of symbols. The evolution of the data structures, using John von Neumann’s stored program control implementation of the Turing Mchine, operated on by the programs lead to process automation and mimicking neural networks of the human brain. This blog explores the difference between current state of the art of human and machine intelligence.

“The Digital world is an extension of the Material world, to which the meaning is given by the Mental world. The information contained in the digital world enhances the mental world creating the Virtual world.”

Knowledge is Related to Information as Matter is Related to Energy

As humans, we are privileged to live in multiple worlds where energy, matter, information, and knowledge interact and provide the means to execute our “life” processes. This blog discusses what the general theory of information and the theory of structural reality articulated by Prof. Mark Burgin tell us about these worlds and how we live in them.

What do We Learn from Cognitive Neuroscience and the Science of Information Processing Structures? What do They Have in Common?

“The Digital world is an extension of the Material world, to which the meaning is given by the Mental world. The information contained in the digital world enhances the mental world creating the Virtual world.”

What is Classical Computer Science, and What are its Boundaries?

“For millennia, the enigma of the world of Ideas or Forms, which Plato suggested and advocated, has been challenging the most prominent thinkers of the humankind.” Burgin, Mark. (2018). Ideas of Plato in the Context of Contemporary Science and Mathematics. Athens Journal of Humanities and Arts. 4. 10.30958/ajha.4.3.1. “The world model provided by the ExistentialContinue reading “What is Classical Computer Science, and What are its Boundaries?”

What is Information? How do We Produce it, and How do We Consume it? How Do We Know Whether Some Information is True or False?

“The general theory of information provides means for a synthesis of physics, psychology and information science playing the role of a metatheory for these scientific areas.”
