A Brief History of Brains bridges the gap between AI and
neuroscience by telling the evolutionary story of how the brain
came to be. The entirety of the human brain’s 4-billion-year
story can be summarised as the culmination of five evolutionary
breakthroughs, starting from the very first brains, all the way to
the modern human brains. Each breakthrough emerged from new sets of
brain modifications, and equipped animals with a new suite of
intellectual faculties. These five breakthroughs are the organising
map to this book, and they make up our itinerary for our adventure
back in time. Each breakthrough also has fascinating corollaries to
breakthroughs in AI. Indeed, there will be plenty of such surprises
along the way. For instance: the innovation that enabled AI to beat
humans in the game of Go – temporal difference reinforcement
learning – was an innovation discovered by our fish ancestors
over 500 million years ago. The solutions to many of the current
mysteries in AI – such as ‘common sense’ – can be found in
the tiny brain of a mouse. Where do emotions come from? Research
suggests that they may have arisen simply as a solution to
navigation in ancient worm brains. Unravelling this evolutionary
story will reveal the hidden features of human intelligence and
with them, just how your mind came to be.
