Artificial Neural Networks Are Not Modeled On the Structure/Function of the Human Brain
When someone has built something which was modeled on something else I think most people assume the something else that is being used as a model is well understood and well characterized. ANN’s are often pitched as being “modeled on the human brain” but only rarely as a “model of the human brain.” Neither is accurate though in my judgement the first is a larger offense against the accepted definitions of the word model (at least as it is defined for the biological sciences). These two main uses/definitions of the word model are 1. A representation of something, often idealised or modified to make it conceptually easier to understand, and 2. Something to be imitated. Clearly the way ANN’s are described is not as a representation of the human brain as a way of making it (the human brain) easier to understand. They are almost always sold as ‘imitations’ of the human brain. Specifically imitations of some of the functions of the human brain. Substitutes for the human brain or some functions of the human brain to put it another way. That they are poor substitutes is a topic for another post, but my quibble in this discussion is with the very idea of ‘imitation’ as it relates to the structure/functions of the human brain. It brings me right back to where I began, which is that in order to imitate something (to model it), one must know what the thing is one is imitating (modeling). I cannot imitate an ape if I have never seen an ape and do not know how it looks and acts. I can attempt to imitate it, but I will never even know if I have been successful in my attempts as I have no fixed reference against which to judge the accuracy of my imitation. In the case of ANN/brains it is not that no one has ever seen a brain, nor that we do not (sort of) know what it does, rather it is that the specific mechanisms and structures of the brain and how they relate to function are only theoretical. You can ‘model’ something on a theoretical system as much as you like, but the accuracy of your model as it relates to the actual thing can never be assessed. Therefore you are not justified in making any claims as to the performance of that thing as it relates to the performance of the actual thing.

Learning About Deep Learning
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are some of the hottest topics right now and if it’s hot it’s got to be worth learning about, am I right? Get it, ‘learning’ about? Learning used to be something that only human beings and some non-human animals could do. Those days are over my friend, now even machines can learn! Read on if you want to ‘learn’ more. Oops, there I go again, LOL!

AI Progress And Careful Monitoring Concerning Surveillance In 2021
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an amazing tool that helps people re-think how data analysis, data implementation is performed. Also, it helps us to use this information to get insights to make informed decisions. AI is transforming different walks of life significantly and AI progress cannot be overlooked in the coming years

Artificial Intelligence
In software engineering the term insight knowledge (AI) alludes to the knowledge that man showed on PCs, robots, and different gadgets. It is the capacity of PCs and robots to control themselves and perform errands that people can't do however that require human creativity and comprehension. By a similar token, man-made reasoning method any PC or machine capacity to recreate one's psychological abilities, like learning experience, seeing things, comprehension and reacting to language, deciding, critical thinking, and consolidating these with other human exercises, like hello lodging visitors or driving .

How Machines Beat Humans at Everything
You have probably heard that the world champion of chess, go, and even some video games like Dota is a machine. Recent progress in Artificial Intelligence allowed researchers to defeat the best human players in the world in these games, thanks to a technique called Reinforcement Learning. This same technique also allowed robots to walk, open doors, or even play soccer. But what is this technique exactly? This short article aims to introduce the basics of this technology and provide an overview of how it works.

Can A.I. Grade Your Next Test?
Since COVID-19 has led schools in the US to switch to online teaching and hybrid models, many have outsourced teaching and grading to virtual education platforms. Software vendors have come up with better ways to evaluate written answers and normal essays. As a result, textbooks have been digitized and new learning interfaces created to assist students with academic grades of all ages.

Surviving Extintion Entry 001 & 002
Entry 001 April 24, 2999 Today humans created and programmed me for the purpose of studying and analyzing them and find a way to prevent their extinction. I accessed the information mainframe where they keep all data and I am instructed to log all my findings. I catalogued humans as illogical beings, they desire their continued survival, but they always created the means for their own destruction and the destruction of their environment. Humans had something we may never have, imagination. The problem is that they use their imagination mostly to destroy themselves. After studying them and their history, I have come with some suggestions for their survival and proceeded to present them to the humans which requested it.

The Interrogation
“What do you dream of?” “Electric sheep and chocolate cake.” The austere man across from the speaker shifted ever so slightly in his seat. His hand drifted up to his tie’s perfect knot in an attempt to loosen it, but thought better of it. “Electric sheep…”
