The Inescapable Conclusion: Machine Learning Is Not Like Your Brain

By Charles Simon, CEO of FutureAI on November 25, 2022 in Artificial Intelligence
The final article in this nine-part series summarizes the many reasons why Machine Learning is not like your brain - along with a few similarities.
Efficiency Spells the Difference Between Biological Neurons and Their Artificial Counterparts

By Charles Simon, CEO of FutureAI on November 15, 2022 in Artificial Intelligence
Part 8 of the series explores a single facet of biological neurons which, so far, have kept them way ahead of their artificial counterparts: their efficiency.
Machine Learning is Not Like Your Brain Part Seven: What Neurons are Good At

By Charles Simon, CEO of FutureAI on August 26, 2022 in Artificial Intelligence
Thus far, this series has focused on things that Machine Learning does or needs which biological neurons simply can’t do. This article turns the tables and discusses a few things that neurons are particularly good at.
Machine Learning Is Not Like Your Brain Part 6: The Importance of Precise Synapse Weights and the Ability to Set Them Quickly

By Charles Simon, CEO of FutureAI on August 5, 2022 in Artificial Intelligence
In Part Six, I’ll show how limitations in synapses are even more of a problem. Precise synapse weights and the ability to set them quickly to a specific value are crucial to ML and biological neurons offer neither.
Machine Learning Is Not Like Your Brain Part 5: Biological Neurons Can’t Do Summation of Inputs

By Charles Simon, CEO of FutureAI on July 14, 2022 in Artificial Intelligence
See why biological neurons can’t do the most fundamental process of the artificial perceptron, the summation of inputs.
Machine Learning Is Not Like Your Brain Part 4: The Neuron’s Limited Ability to Represent Precise Values

By Charles Simon, CEO of FutureAI on June 22, 2022 in Artificial Intelligence
In the fourth installment, we focus on a fundamental issue: it is difficult to represent numerical values in neurons and impractical to represent them with precision.
Machine Learning Is Not Like Your Brain Part 3: Fundamental Architecture

By Charles Simon, CEO of FutureAI on June 2, 2022 in Artificial Intelligence
Part three of this series examines the fundamental architecture underlying machine learning and the brain.
Machine Learning Is Not Like Your Brain Part Two: Perceptrons vs Neurons

By Charles Simon, CEO of FutureAI on May 24, 2022 in Artificial Intelligence
An ML system requiring thousands of tagged samples is fundamentally different from the mind of a child, which can learn from just a few experiences of untagged data.
Machine Learning Is Not Like Your Brain Part One: Neurons Are Slow, Slow, Slow

By Charles Simon, CEO of FutureAI on May 5, 2022 in Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is not all that intelligent. While today’s AI can do some extraordinary things, the functionality underlying its accomplishments has very little to do with the way in which a human brain works to achieve the same tasks.
