The biggest difference between AI and human intelligence is this. AI simply collects and connects information. Human intelligence is deeper. There are more connections with data than AI. Human intelligence. It is connected with culture, intuition, and social behavior.
Can AI reach human intelligence? That is a good question. The second big, and maybe interesting, question is this: do we want a computer that is as intelligent as we are? But before we start thinking about AI. And its intelligence level. We must understand that there are no humans. Who can do everything. Every single person has limits. And even if we are the greatest mathematicians or engineers. We might not be the best chefs in the world. This means that it might be impossible. To create AI that makes everything. We have different professions and different work. When we want to build a house. We call the construction worker.
And then we need an electrician and a plumber. Those three people could theoretically make a house. But here we see that in those everyday projects. We need three different people. So here is the thing. That we must realize. What one individual person can do is more limited than the skills of the entire human race. We can create AI that does everything.
That humans can as a species. But that kind of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) requires that the entire human population will be put in singularity with the AI. The AGI is the system. There is the central AI. That central AI shares missions with AI agents. And each AI agent is a tool that has specific functions. This makes it possible to create modular AI that can connect. New skills. Into it. This thing. Is the main element of the AI.
When we think of thinking. That means the ability to connect data from different sources. We can say that the AI. It's like a savant. It can have a very good knowledge of things in a thin sector. In a thin sector. AI can beat humans. But other things, outside that real thin focus. They are far below average. This means that in certain areas. The AI. It can be better than humans. But those skills are more limited than humans'. The AI's ability to process. Preprocessed and sorted data is incredible. But otherwise, AI has its limits.
But then we must ask one thing. Do we require too much from the AI? AI is not like a human. It has imagination. That is based on data. It can get and connect data. The simulation is based on natural laws. And data that is stored in the AI's memory. So, AI cannot imagine things like Superman. Who flies faster than light. Humans don’t fly. Except if they have an airplane. But the AI’s imagination is more limited than human imagination. So the AI cannot think abstractly. It can simulate things. But it cannot create abstraction. All AI’s imagination. It happens by connecting data from databases.
The worst case is ot system. That makes errors. The worst case is the system. That believes that it's right. Even if the answer is wrong. The ability to operate without errors doesn’t make anything intelligent. Intelligence is how the system detects and fixes its mistakes. Same way. As a professional electrician. Is not a person who doesn’t make mistakes. The professional detects and fixes mistakes faster than a non-professional.
The big thing is that. AI can connect information from different sources. But AI doesn’t think. This makes AI a problematic thing. If some hacker breaks into the AI’s database. And puts the data that Superman is real into that database. The AI thinks that Superman is real. The AI can double-check all data that is loaded into it during the training period. That happens by using two or three sources. Or, simply by asking the trainer. But when data is checked. And it's in a trusted database. That. Can mean. That the system will not make a new check. And that makes it possible that the data that the system uses is corrupted. Same way. If the trainer makes a wrong decision. That can turn fact into fiction. And fiction into fact.
So. Is AI smarter than we are? The fact is this. AI can be a better chess player. Than humans. The AI can mimic humans. It can give impressive answers. But the fact is this. All those answers that AI gives. They are formed when the AI connects information. The difference between AI and human brains is that every neuron is like a miniature brain. When AI drives information through the system. There is no need to analyze data that travels in the AI. In natural brains. The brain can analyze data. It can make that analysis. When information. It travels between neurons. That makes error detection easier.
When data travels through a computer. The system. It makes error detection easier. But only. When the information travels through the entire system. Then the error detector. Makes all calculations backward. So, it drives information in the opposite direction. If the value after that process. Is the same. As the starting value. The calculation should be right. If. human brains make that thing. Every process in the brain takes a very long time. But. Because brains can make. error detection before the end of the process. And without stopping the main cycle. That can make them more effective.
