All quotes by Jeff Hawkins (103)
Every cortical column is a mini-intelligence.
Innovation in AI requires rethinking from biology.
The brain doesn't compute; it anticipates.
Reality is what our predictions confirm.
Hierarchies in the brain enable abstraction.
Persistence in science reveals the brain's secrets.
AI ethics starts with mimicking human cognition fairly.
The joy of discovery is predicting the unpredictable.
Cortical models vote on reality.
Without prediction, there's no intelligence.
Brains and machines: convergence is inevitable.
Learning is error correction in the cortex.
The universe is knowable through predictive brains.
Don't fear AI; understand it through biology.
Temporal patterns define our consciousness.
Science is prediction validated by experiment.
A thousand brains make one mind.
Creativity is novel prediction.
The brain's efficiency shames our algorithms.
Life's purpose: evolve better predictors.
