AI development flawed by computational mind model, argues new analysis

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The article argues that current AI development is based on a flawed computational model of the human mind, likening AI to "junk food" for cognition. It contrasts this with a feedback-control system model proposed by neuroscientist Paul Cisek, which emphasizes action and adjustment of stimuli rather than passive information processing. This perspective suggests that AI, by mimicking a limited computational view of brains, fails to grasp the true complexity of human cognition and its evolutionary basis. AI

IMPACT Challenges the fundamental assumptions behind current AI development, suggesting a need for a more biologically grounded approach to cognition.
