Jeff Hawkins, the co-founder of Numenta recently had a conversation with Christy Maver regarding the state of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and more. Maver writes, “As 2016 comes to a close, I’m sure many of you are reflecting on this past year as you also look ahead to the next one. I found myself doing the same when I sat down with our co-founder Jeff Hawkins recently. I asked him to share his thoughts on Numenta’s 2016 highlights and what he’s most looking forward to in 2017. Jeff talked about the progress we’ve made on our dual missions of reverse engineering the neocortex and creating machine learning technology based on how the brain learns. From the peer-reviewed papers and research collaborations to the growth of the Numenta Anomaly Benchmark and the release of HTM Studio – it’s been a busy year, but as Jeff’s excitement indicates, the best may be yet to come.”
