Six years ago, we wrote a blog about Classic AI, Simple Neural Networks, and Biological Neural Networks. Fast forward to today and it’s no surprise that the terms have continued to evolve. In this blog post, we’ll revisit these approaches, look at how they hold up today, and compare them to each other. We’ll also explore how each approach might address the same real-world problem.

In our most recent peer-reviewed paper published in Frontiers in Neural Circuits, A Framework for Intelligence and Cortical Function Based on Grid Cells in the Neocortex, we put forward a novel theory for how the neocortex works. In this updated blog about the Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence originally published in March 2018, Jeff Hawkins and Christy Maver describe the key insights of our theory and how it compares to the classic view of the hierarchy, as well as its implications for AI.

Last month, Numenta released a major new theory for intelligence and cortical computation, documenting the theory in a research paper and making it available on a preprint server while it undergoes peer-review. We also created a “companion piece” to the research paper. What’s a companion piece and why did we write it? How did two non-neuroscientists write a paper about a neuroscience paper? In this blog post, we’ll take you behind the scenes to show you how and why it happened.
