Council Post: AI Versus The Human Brain

Charles Simon, BSEE, MSCs, is the founder and CEO of Future AI: Technologies that Think. AI systems are often compared to the human brain, even though they have almost nothing in common. To achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI), we tend to look to the only example of general intelligence available for humans to study: the human brain. This approach has led to modern artificial intelligence (AI) often being presented as working like your brain. It is more accurate, though, to view modern AI techniques such as machine learning (ML) as powerful statistical methods.
