The Gates Foundation backs an AI wildcard

  • Bill Gates is supporting Jeff Hawkins, co-inventor of the PalmPilot, in developing AI software inspired by the human brain.

  • Numenta, Hawkins' firm, received $2.7 million from the Gates Foundation to work on the Thousand Brains Project.

  • Hawkins believes that AI should mimic the neocortex to achieve breakthroughs in machine intelligence.

  • Large language models like ChatGPT are moving away from brain-inspired designs towards sheer size and scope.

  • Hawkins aims to move beyond transformer models and attract researchers to explore brain-based AI further.
