Despite remarkable advancements in neuroscience, the fundamental nature of intelligence remains elusive. In A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence, Jeff Hawkins offers a revolutionary answer, built upon a groundbreaking scientific discovery. This captivating exploration delves into the brain's inner workings, revealing the secret behind the neocortex's organization into strange communities called cortical columns – 150,000 of them.
Hawkins and his team have discovered that each cortical column constructs its own unique model of the world. Instead of a single, unified model, our perception emerges from the collective "vote" of thousands of these miniature brains. This new perspective, dubbed the "thousand brains" theory, challenges conventional wisdom and suggests that the neocortex's operational principles, not artificial neural networks, will ultimately drive the future of artificial intelligence.
"What's described here is so exciting, so exhilarating, it will turn your mind into a bubbling cauldron of provocative ideas," raves Richard Dawkins. This groundbreaking work was also chosen as one of Bill Gates' five favorite books of 2021. Prepare to have your understanding of intelligence irrevocably altered.
