A.I. Using Neuroscience? - The Ape Machine

Very simply stated: A.I. is super hot right now. Yet, what is not so hot is for journalists and other creators of content to do their very best to make sure the information being spread out there is as accurate as possible. We have seen a very good example of that just recently with the whole "Facebook's A.I. creating a new language" farce. A good rule of thumb a the moment is to mentally replace the words "artificial intelligence" with "machine learning" at the moment, and educate yourself on the difference. Once you have this little adjustment taken care of, it will be much easier to distinguish between machine learning models that are performing a task, often more efficiently than any human could ever do, bounded by the parameters of this one task, and more generalistic (true) artificial intelligence, which should perform more like a human would, or at least that is what many people hope to achieve.
