Jeff Hawkins, On Intelligence
Jeff Hawkins has published a new book, with his theories on how the brain works and how we can use these ideas to build intelligent machines. [companion web site]
For the past twenty-five years, I have had a vision of that small, straightforward book on the brain. It was like a carrot keeping me motivated during those years. This vision has shaped the book you are holding in your hands right now. I have never liked complexity, in either science or technology. You can see that reflected in the products I have designed, which are often noted for their ease of use. The most powerful things are simple. Thus this book proposes a simple and straightforward theory of intelligence. I hope you enjoy it.
