AI that Mimics the Human Brain --The Next Revolution in Artificial Intelligence

The term, Artificial Intelligence was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This year, computer scientists celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the mathematical genius Alan Turing. Turing set the basis for digital computing in the 1930s to anticipate our current technilogical age. The quest still remains to create a machine as adaptable and intelligent as the human brain.

Computer scientist Hava Siegelmann of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, an expert in neural networks, has taken Turing's work to its next logical step by translating her 1993 discovery of "Super-Turing" computation into an adaptable computational system that learns and evolves, using input from the environment in a way much more like our brains do than classic Turing-type computers. She and her post-doctoral research colleague Jeremie Cabessa report on the advance in the current issue of Neural Computation.
