4 important obstacle for the creation of artificial intelligence that researchers are not yet able to get around

Futurists believe that sooner or later, scientists will be able to create artificial intelligence, human-like, and even surpassing it. Scientists are trying to do this by simulating the human brain, but they still have a long way to copy 100 million neurons in the brain and their connections 1 trillion. Moreover, the preconditions for this already: for example, the neuroscientist Henry Markram (Henry Markram) and colleagues are working on a promising project - the creation of a fully human-identical virtual brain, and Barack Obama has allocated $ 100 million to study brain functions and innovative projects in this area.



However, at a recent international scientific forum in New York, a group of researchers announced that there are at least four serious obstacles to the creation of artificial intelligence.

1. The brain - not kompyuter



It may be possible to design a machine that will function as the human brain, but not vice versa. The Company has adopted to compare the brain with the computer, however, according to neuroscientist Douglas Fields (Douglas Fields), these parallels are inadmissible, since the brain - the biological body with living cells and tissues, pass electrical impulses, not the board with a digital code and wires .

2. Technology is still insufficiently razvity



Recently, scientists were able to reveal the "mystery" of the cerebral neural network: for this they were scanned with the electron microscope the smallest pieces of nervous tissue, and then recreated its computer model, but to do the same with the whole brain of existing technologies is not enough. Neuroscientist Kristen Harris (Kristen Harris) explained: currently one brain cell is equivalent to power one laptop.

3. The structure of the brain is too slozhna

But even if there will be ultra-modern computers capable of recreating the whole trillion neural connections, scientists have for a long time to decipher how each of them appears in the mind and human behavior. In addition, the neurons themselves account for only 15% of the nervous tissue, and in addition they have more support cells - the glia.

4. The brain - only a part TSNS

Gregory Wheeler (Gregory Wheeler) of Carnegie Mellon University noted that the brain gives signals that would be useless, for example, without the spinal cord. Therefore, in order to create artificial intelligence, human-like, it is necessary to develop more than one authority, and the whole body.
