Opis

This popular science compendium provides an approximate, holistic but first ever solution to the four Holy Grail questions: How does a brain work? How does the brain learn? How does its consciousness arise? How does learning require consciousness?The volume explains how human brains require and learn consciousness and why the new AI will overcome the current lack of conscious learning algorithms in AI. For human societies, it suggests how governments can make their taxpayers safer, more prosper and happier. For future AI, it calls for a thorough investigation in scientific infrastructures like government and private funding agencies, publication venues, professional societies and administrators that evaluate research. Why did a conscious learning algorithm not have a healthy environment to study? Why could rampant misconducts of data deletion in deep learning be allowed to grossly exaggerate AI performances for so long? The author's real-life accounts reveal deep reasons.The useful reference text benefits laymen in all walks of life, as well as professionals, researchers, academics and students in any areas.
