Jeff Hawkins: Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence | Artificial Intelligence (AI) Podcast

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

I listened to the first hour. it takes time… and the right frame of mind, but it’s worth it.


Jeff Hawkins is the founder of Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience in 2002 and Numenta in 2005. In his 2004 book titled On Intelligence, and in his research before and after, he and his team have worked to reverse-engineer the neocortex and propose artificial intelligence architectures, approaches, and ideas that are inspired by the human brain. These ideas include Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) from 2004 and The Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence from 2017. This conversation is part of the Artificial Intelligence podcast.
