As the models of how our cortex actually functions, those like HTM, rapidly improve, the follow-on implications are even more exciting. This deeper understanding will begin to put a much more solid footing under marketing specialties as well.
In Probably Approximately Correct, Leslie Valiant a well known computer scientist offers what boils down to a the common characteristic of “thinking”:
