Specialized Processes, Emergent Capabilities, and Recurrent Circuits: Exploring the Human Brain and Artificial Intelligence

This chapter explores the idea of specialized processes in computers and the human brain, drawing connections between our understanding of the brain and the creation of artificial intelligence. It discusses the evolution of specialized regions and emergent properties of consciousness in the brain, the limitations of current language models, and the potential solutions to improve memory storage and efficiency. Additionally, it examines recurrent circuits in the brain and their role in implementing more expressive levels of representation.
