For truly intelligent AI, we need to mimic the brain’s sensorimotor principles

Brains suggest an alternate way to build AI—one that will replace deep learning as the central technology for creating artificial intelligence.

In a recent essay by Sam Altman, titled “The Intelligence Age,” he paints a picture for the future of AI. He states that with AI, “fixing the climate, establishing a space colony, and the discovery of all of physics—will eventually become commonplace.” On an individual level, he states (italics added), “We can each have a personal AI team, full of virtual experts in different areas, working together to create almost anything we can imagine.” The benefits of AI, according to Altman, will soon be available to everyone around the world.
