Developing Artificial Intelligence by Modelling the

Abstract — The best way to develop a truly intelligent system is to use the known properties of the only intelligent system that we know: humans. We have a great deal of understanding of neural function, a reasonable idea of overall brain topology, and a broad understanding of the emergent properties of this system. We are concentrating on developing simple neural models that can scale up to develop a cognitive architecture. Once this is done, we can concentrate on specialised modules akin to brain areas. Such a system can overcome the symbol-grounding and domain specificity problems that bedevil current AI systems
