It is interesting how his great-great-grandfather George Boole was ahead of his time when his work about Boolean Algebra was build on a basis of a model of how the mind works, which for him was logic. After around 150 years his direct descendant Geoffrey Hinton pursues the goal to understand how the mind works and then goes ahead of his time by revolutionizing Artificial Intelligence. The world did indeed catch up once, but he is still ahead as he keeps pushing the field with new work like Capsule Neural Networks.

@Kevvy Kim Could you elaborate? Any news/paper on the first school of thought (a.k.a the math/medical side)? Is it perhaps Neuro Processing Chip?

[@aifan6148]

@Kevvy Kim Thank you for the explanation ❤☺ But at its core, deep learning is just chained regression. Of course, errors aggregates in different layers. So, a recent paper (neural ordinary differential equations) tried to improve the "fitting" process using infinite layers, a.k.a, using equations instead of discrete layers (like in calculus, from a series of discrete regressions to a continuous measurement). It's pretty just applied math. But personally, I don't think that's how the brain works, although they call it "neural" network. Quantum biology is going on in our brains (or at least in migratory bird's brains, and in plants' photosynthesis process), and even physicist cannot fully explain anything Quantum yet. Until then, I believe we won't be able to build AGI, not without mimicking the quantum process in nature.

[@MarkLucasProductions]

I'm only putting my comment here because your name is Lucas. I am a non academic but I attended a special interest group's talk at Melbourne University in the mid 80's where neural nets and parallel programing was discussed. I immediately understood the merits of this approach and thoroughly believed in it thereafter. However, as mentioned in the video, they couldn't make it work. Nevertheless from a philosophical perspective I could see clearly how it 'must' be able to work. Nowadays it is being touted as 'AI' or the means to AI. Whilst I understand what might be accomplished in the field of 'machine learning' I nevertheless seem to be in a very small minority of people who insist that 'artificial intelligence' is fundamentally impossible. Consciousness precedes intelligence. In order to build an 'intelligent' machine you must first build a 'conscious' machine. Neural nets might accomplish 'anything' but they cannot become conscious. Others think they know why machines 'can' achieve consciousness - I think I know why they absolutely can't.

[@snooks5607]

@@MarkLucasProductions it is thoroughly amazing to me that anyone in 80s, let alone 60s, thought they could make "real AI".. the problem could be studied of course but the hardware simply wasn't there yet. and they knew roughly how many neurons were in a human brain. I mean there was never even a chance. did you know IBM built a 512 node supercomputer in 2001 that cost $110M that calculated at around 12 teraflops, the new xbox you can get from local supermarket this year has roughly the same calculation power. and it is still not enough for even a rat brain. the hubris of thinking they had any chance half a century ago.

[@snooks5607]

@messiah yea, there's lots of issues with semantics of the words we use. people argue that intelligence requires intentionality, and that implies will or desire, i.e. feelings. although artificial neural networks can simulate emergent behavior it still boils down to programming and while we keep pushing the boundary of machine learning it never becomes AI, basically if you can explain it it's not AI. 🤷‍♂️

I used to attend lectures in the Carnegie Mellon Computer Science department in 1983-1985. OMG. Jeff shook up the original (symbolic) AI gurus so bad......the fear and hate was palatable. Jeff never seemed to enjoy being hated, but he behaved like he was fearless because he was convinced he was right about neural nets and statistics/math. Always with an amazingly deadpan (British?) sense of humor. The thing that impressed me the most about Jeff at that time was even the very best "traditional AI" students, post grads and facility quietly, and sometimes not so quietly, took his side and helped to fight off the fierce but unconvincing criticism leveled at him at that time. While I could understand why Jeff would flee to Toronto because of the DARPA money thing, I often wondered if he simply tired of the abuse at CMU.

Geoff is the great-great-grandson of George Boole (where "boolean" logic comes from, whose mathematical work is credited with laying the foundation of computers), quite fitting that Hinton is influential & pushing forward a field whose ancestor is fundamental to.

[@KenBowd]

With respect. Citing Dr. Hinton as a Canadian pioneer in AI is likely a fair statement but, such a statement ignores those who came before him. Donald Olding Hebb was born on July 22, 1904 in Chester, Nova Scotia where he lived until his family moved to Dartmouth when he was 16. The term AI was not in use when Dr Hebb became interested in Neural Nets but it is undeniable, his work is foundational to Dr Hinton’s. The source for where Dr. Hebb's foundational thinking was, is difficult to know unless he wrote it down somewhere. Personally my reading suggests statistics. As a human mind scans and evaluates any particular body of data and finds some truth, they have mimicked Hebb's net. Personally I feel the term AI is a misnomer. If something is intelligent, it is intelligent, not artificial! Again, with respect to Dr. Hinton real talent, Canada can be proud of; Ken Bowd Layperson Canada. PS: my logic here is the product of a 1970’s era tv show called “Connections” by James Burke. (Google “connections PBS”).
