The Thousand Brains Project, initiated by Jeff Hawkins and Numenta Inc., aims to develop novel artificial intelligence systems by understanding the principles of the human cortex. Based on the Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence, the project posits a fundamentally different brainwork mechanism compared to traditional AI systems. The goal is to build an efficient and powerful intelligent system capable of achieving human-level cognitive abilities. Numenta Inc. opens its research resources, including meeting records, open-source code, and a large community around its algorithms. The project has received funding from organizations like the Gates Foundation and encourages global researchers to participate or join this exciting initiative.
