In On Intelligence, Jeff Hawkins presents a revolutionary theory at the intersection of neurobiology, psychology and cybernetics that describes the memory-prediction system as the basis of human intelligence. The author notes that all previous attempts to create intelligent machines failed due to a fundamental mistake of the developers, who sought to recreate human behavior, but did not take into account the nature of the biological mind. Jeff Hawkins suggests that the ideas he formulated in his book On Intelligence will form the basis for the creation of true artificial intelligence - not one that copies, but one that surpasses human intelligence. In addition, the book contains discussions about the consequences and possibilities of creating intelligent machines, the author’s views on the nature and distinctive features of human intelligence. The book is recommended for everyone who is interested in the structure of the human brain and the principles of its functioning, as well as for those who are involved in the development of artificial intelligence.
