The Interplay of General and Narrow Intelligence in AI Development

Today we’re joined by Dileep George, Founder and the CTO of Vicarious.

Dileep, who was also a co-founder of Numenta, works at the intersection of AI research and neuroscience, and famously pioneered the hierarchical temporal memory. In our conversation, we explore the importance of mimicking the brain when looking to achieve artificial general intelligence, the nuance of “language understanding” and how all the tasks that fall underneath it are all interconnected, with or without language.

We also discuss his work with Recursive Cortical Networks, Schema Networks, and what’s next on the path towards AGI!
