COGNITIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Cognitive technology, one of the four technologies with disruptive potential, results from applying the knowledge derived from Neuroscience to modify or replicate the functioning of the brain and, therefore, act on the mind. A fundamental field that studies how the structure, chemistry, pharmacology, and physiology of the nervous system gives rise to thought, consciousness, and behavior, with the goal of replicating the functioning of the brain through engineering.

Miniaturization is associated with some other advantages, basically, by reducing the size of transistors and other components by half, the speed is doubled, since the electrons have to travel fewer distances, at the same time this leads to less energy consumption and the power dissipated by each transistor decreases.

Areas whose research is currently booming would fall into this discipline, such as Neuroimaging, Computational Linguistics or Artificial Neural Networks; Currently, its development has enabled scenarios charged with the future in which robotic prostheses can cure diseases such as severe depression or Alzheimer's.

Knowledge Science

Cognitive technology is perhaps the most important of the emerging technologies. is the study of information transformed in the mind, which is what the brain builds,cognitive science is focused on explaining the brain, the mind and human behavior based on the understanding of the physical, chemical, biological processes of neurons .

Brain Machine Connection

Cognitive technology emphasizes interdisciplinary research and works to increase scientific cooperation, in order to enhance the capabilities of the human brain. It also consists of communicating our brain with computers; The brain is currently divided into three sections: reptilian (instincts), limbic (emotions), and neocortex (intelligence). It is thought of as creating an exo-cortex to have superior intelligence and connect directly to other machines or platforms like Google.

Collective intelligence

Intelligence is not something that arises only in individual brains, it can also emerge from groups of individuals, it is what is known as collective intelligence: groups of individuals that make decisions and act intelligently as a group; where the most intelligent of the group is the group itself, where this synergism makes the whole much greater than the sum of its parts.

Internet Platform for Collective Intelligence

Researchers from various fields, ranging from economic sciences, to politics, through psychology and the scientific-technological field, have studied the different manifestations of collective intelligence, whose potential is enormous, allowing us to understand the possibilities of this intelligence and thus To get the most out of it, it is convenient to explore other systems, as is the case of the animal world or the neuronal system itself.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to make computers do the same things that the human mind can do; some like reasoning would be described as intelligent, others like seeing is not; but they all train psychological skills such as perception, association, prediction, planning, motor control that allows humans and other animals to move.

AI Main Applications:

Technological, which uses computers to solve problems by imitating the process of the mind and sometimes using alternative methods other than this.

Scientific, which uses AI concepts and models to help solve questions about humans and other living things.

The Singularity

The term singularity comes from physics and mathematics where it is used to refer to a variable that approaches infinity; a commonly used example is the center of a black hole, where the mass becomes infinitely dense.

The technological singularity It refers to a scenario in which artificial intelligence will not only catch up, but also surpass human intelligence. It will even be capable of improving itself, resulting in a lot of intelligence, the result of which will be machines that are more intelligent than human beings.

The term singularity has been associated with the belief that technology, and specifically machine superintelligence, will one day solve all our problems. If we could achieve the very complex task of designing a machine with artificial general intelligence, the step from this to a super-intelligent machine would be a much simpler task.

Singularity Scenarios

The key to collective intelligence lies in the connectivity between the different agents, think of the powerful collective intelligence that can emerge from machines and men interacting in this age of hyper-connectivity. As it is a distributed intelligence, we no longer have to worry about the scenario of a single super intelligent robot, in the group of men and machines, above it is the group as a whole.

Promoting Collective Knowledge

The Internet, the network of networks, is a tool to empower the planetary brain, which is why all the advances in Big Data, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, the semantic web, networks, and other disciplines are actually a scenario for the achievement of an increasingly powerful intelligence. In this superorganism, each of its members, whether men or machines, will be able to benefit from the collective, since being endowed with superintelligence, they will be able to make various decisions to maximize the efficiency of the group as a whole.
