Research on How Human Intelligence, Consciousness, and Cognitive Computing Affect the Development of Artificial Intelligence

TLDR

Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence, currently limited to partial aspects, but future advances in brain‑computer interfaces and brain science are expected to enable strong AI capable of replicating human imagination, emotion, intuition, potential, tacit knowledge, and personalized cognition. Advances in cognitive‑computing algorithms are expanding AI’s reach into education, commerce, and medicine, while the authors argue that AI will remain a service provider for humans, underscoring the importance of ethical governance.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is essentially the simulation of human intelligence. Today’s AI can only simulate, replace, extend, or expand part of human intelligence. In the future, the research and development of cutting-edge technologies such as brain-computer interface (BCI) together with the development of the human brain will eventually usher in a strong AI era, when AI can simulate and replace human’s imagination, emotion, intuition, potential, tacit knowledge, and other kinds of personalized intelligence. Breakthroughs in algorithms represented by cognitive computing promote the continuous penetration of AI into fields such as education, commerce, and medical treatment to build up AI service space. As to human concern, namely, who controls whom between humankind and intelligent machines, the answer is that AI can only become a service provider for human beings, demonstrating the value rationality of following ethics.
