David W. Bates, cybernetics specialist: ‘The brain is not a computer’
A cybernetics expert argues that the brain functions beyond a simple computational model, challenging the view that intelligence is purely algorithmic. He emphasizes the need to move past dichotomies between natural and artificial intelligence in the era of advanced AI.
The expert, David W. Bates, advocates for integrating insights from biology, cognition, and technology to understand intelligence as a dynamic system, rather than a static computer analogue. He warns against technophobia and transhumanism, urging a balanced approach to AI development.
He suggests that AI should be evaluated by its actual capabilities and limitations within real-world contexts, rather than by comparisons to human thought. This stance encourages interdisciplinary collaboration to address ethical, practical, and epistemological questions in AI research.
