A Framework for Scalable Cognition

Onderzoeksoutput: Conference paper

Samenvatting

The human brain is still the most competent problem solving system we know. However, as a biological construct, it is impossible to expand because of many developmental constraints such as its con?nement to the cranium. How can we create a general problem solving system inspired by the brain but not so constrained? In functional terms,how can we scale up cognition? We introduce a framework for scalable
cognition, where complex cognitive functions emerge from coordinated coalitions of simple cognitive agents. This is a step towards the Global Brain, a scalable intelligent system with the potential ability to tackle planetary level challenges and beyond.
