Distinguished neurosurgeon and neuroscientist Michael Egnor from Stonybrook University offered these thoughts on artificial vs. natural intelligence at the official launch of the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence in Seattle, WA. Read his remarks at: www.discovery.org/v/neurosurg....
"The hallmark of human thought is meaning, and the hallmark of computation is indifference to meaning. That is, in fact, what makes thought so remarkable and also what makes computation so useful. You can think about anything, and you can use the same computer to express your entire range of thoughts because computation is blind to meaning. Thought is not merely not computation. Thought is the antithesis of computation. Thought is precisely what computation is not. Thought is intentional. Computation is not intentional."
