Will machines ever be intelligent?
Subutai Ahmad, a computer scientist translating neocortex ideas into AI, and Nicolò Fusi, a researcher on transformer and LLM architectures, debate machine intelligence. They compare transformer attention to cortical columns, discuss continual learning vs memorization, energy and sparsity trade-offs, and whether many small, parallel modules could recreate brain-like intelligence.
