The path to strong AI -- could a biological approach be the answer?

Building truly strong AI is an incredibly fascinating area. Companies like Numenta are working to understand the neocortex of the human mind to achieve great strides in AI. Matt Taylor from Numenta will be speaking at AI with the Best on their work with strong AI that follows principles learnt from neuroscience, here are some of his insights. Artificial neural networks is likely to be the sort of AI technology you've heard about before. Matt explains that "the current AI landscape is dominated by technologies rooted in Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The neuronal model used by these systems was architected decades ago before we understood much about how neurons really worked."
