I think many people misinterpret artificial intelligence to mean creating robots or computers with emotions. Hawkins âoeOn Intelligenceâ offers a unique perspective on creating plausible intelligent machines. His thesis is based on the neocortex using a common learning algorithm to process information. I am not saying that Hawkins is correct, but he does make a compelling argument in his book, and I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in cognitive science or artificial intelligence. I also recommend reading a âoeQuest for Consciousnessâ which makes the argument that the consciousness is an illusion generated by the chemical soup in your head.
