• Title: Minds, Brains, AI
• Authors: Jay Seitz,
• Abstract summary: In the last year or so there has been extensive claims by major computational scientists, engineers, and others that AGI, artificial general intelligence, is five or ten years away, but without a scintilla of scientific evidence, for a broad body of these claims. This article reviews evidence for the following three propositions using extensive body of scientific research and related sources from the cognitive and neurosciences, evolutionary evidence, linguistics, data science, comparative psychology, self-driving cars, robotics, and the learning sciences.

• Abstract: In the last year or so and going back many decades there has been extensive claims by major computational scientists, engineers, and others that AGI, artificial general intelligence, is five or ten years away, but without a scintilla of scientific evidence, for a broad body of these claims. Computers will become conscious, have a theory of mind, think and reason, will become more intelligent than humans, and so on. But the claims are science fiction, not science. This article reviews evidence for the following three propositions using extensive body of scientific research and related sources from the cognitive and neurosciences, evolutionary evidence, linguistics, data science, comparative psychology, self-driving cars, robotics. and the learning sciences. (1) Do computing machines think or reason? (2) Are computing machines sentient or conscious? (3) Do computing machines have a theory of mind?

  One fundamental question which would affect human sustainability remains open: Will artificial intelligence (AI) evolve to surpass human intelligence in the future? This paper shows that in theory new AI twins with fresh cellular level of AI techniques for neuroscience could approximate the brain and its functioning systems. This paper indirectly proves the validity of the conjecture made by Frank Rosenblatt 70 years ago about the potential capabilities of AI.

  The scientific method is the cornerstone of human progress across all branches of the natural and applied sciences. We argue that human complex reasoning for scientific discovery remains of vital importance, at least before the advent of artificial general intelligence. Knowing what data AI systems deemed important to make decisions can be a point of contact with domain experts and scientists.

  We look at consciousness through the lens of Theoretical Computer Science, a branch of mathematics that studies computation under resource limitations. We develop a formal machine model for consciousness inspired by Alan Turing's simple yet powerful model of computation and Bernard Baars' theater model of consciousness.

  The current state-of-the-art in artificial intelligence is impressive, especially in terms of mastery of language, but not so much in terms of mathematical reasoning. This essay builds on the idea that current deep learning mostly succeeds at system 1 abilities. It takes an information-theoretical posture to ask questions about what constitutes an interesting mathematical statement.

  Animals are born with some intelligence encoded in their genes, but machines lack such intelligence and learn from scratch.
