Fact: For starters brains cannot exist in artificial machines. Furthermore, this idea is based on the fact that machine learning uses “neural nets” which basically means that AI machines can learn the same way that humans learn. While machine learning uses neural nets for learning, they are far from achieving the complexity of the human brain much less mimicking certain human capabilities. Neural networks have the ability to solve many problems but lack the ability to mimic the unique behavior of the human mind to be able to think. Along with this, the human brain has more than 200 billion neurons and each of those neurons connect with as many as 10,000 neurons through synapses, a way to permit neurons to send signals to one another, the complexity becomes quite intricate, something that is way beyond the ability of the technology that we have now.
Fact: There are often misconceptions, thoughts based on fantasy or science fiction, about AI taking over the world by replacing humans and taking over their jobs. This is not the case as AI aids humans in their jobs effectiveness and efficiency rather than taking their job. While technology has been threatening jobs in the recent decades, there will always be a need for human interaction. AI will always be able to simplify tasks, taking away some jobs but while AI simplifies, humans engage meaning that need for human interaction will never cease.
Fact: AI will be programmed to mimic the best qualities of a human being in order to perform at the level of what the highest performing human would be at. However this type of human does not exist in the real world. It would not make sense to compare the tasks completed by a machine to one human but instead compare this to the ideal super human.
Fact: No, AI cannot solve problems like that of a human mind. Again it should be noted that we are far from understanding the full function of the human brain and without knowing how it functions, we are unable to be able to recreate all of its functions in technology. AI is only as good as its data that is collected or programmed, it will not have the proper cognitive abilities to solve problems until those who program are able to figure that out. It would require a significant breakthrough for technology to approach a problem and solve a problem like that of the human brain.
