A Thousand Brains

A New Theory of Intelligence

Book • 2021

In this book, Jeff Hawkins presents a revolutionary theory of intelligence that explains how the brain creates intelligence through the use of maplike structures to build tens of thousands of models of the world.

The book delves into how these models enable us to perceive the world, understand our sense of self, and originate high-level thought.

It also discusses the implications of this theory for machine intelligence and the future of humanity, highlighting potential threats and opportunities.
