12 WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS WITH HAVING AI LIKE

A HUMAN BRAIN?

While many people dream of a computer that can think like a human brain, the human brain has many fl aws and problems. A problem with AI is that many of the types of problems and issues with the human mind exist with an arti fi cial mind.

Th is book is a followup, or add on, to the Bookboon textbook Understanding Human Minds and T h eir Limit s . Th at books gives insights into the workings, limitations and issues with the human mind.

Th e following are just several examples of the workings and limitations of human minds:

• Humans have many irrational biases that cloud their judgments and make objective perceptions and judgement impossible. Anyone who studies politics, economics or social interactions knows of the irrationality of human thoughts, ideas and actions.

• Human perception is subjective to the individual.

When you are look at a bowl of apples or painting or mountain range, the image you see is not a direct representation of the objects, but a translation of limited sensory information made by your eyes and mind. Th is is no minor issue, a s human s’ worldvi e w i s substantiall y base d o n thei r vision .
