Abstract

The article deals with current problems of IT and sets up a new view of semantic memory as a base for artificial intelligence system. The explanation of object defined as a language, not as a data, leads to linked semantic objects and memory sizing paradox.

Notes

  1. 1.

    See Second Commandement: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain”.

  2. 2.

    R.U.R – is abbreviation from “Rossum's Universal Robots”, main actor in Capek’s science fiction play dated 1920.

  3. 3.

    The Golem is a human-revived statue in Jewish mysticism. The idea of figure created by man and revived by him to fulfill his assigned task is, however, much older (literally documented in a short story from the second half of the sixth century BC).

  4. 4.

    Number of projects that use AI Google increased from a “sporadic usage” in 2012 to more than 2,700 projects in 2015.

  5. 5.

    E.g. the theory of fluid and crystallized abilities and many others.

  6. 6.

    This kind of space is called the Hilbert Space, so that is why it is called Hilbert’s Engine.

  7. 7.

    Dividing the neuron space by standard neuron volume produces estimate of 22 billion neurons. Other estimates are 10 billions [10], 13 billions [10] or 20 billions [10], but well below the often cited figure of 100 billion [7].

  8. 8.

    See e.g. Churchland and Sejnowski figure of 100,000 km of wiring [7].

  9. 9.

    Actually, the number of possible connection can be computed using Stirling formula to approximately ten to the power of five thousand billions.

  10. 10.

    The neuroscientist disagrees if this value is clearly analog or coded analog, like e.g. number of pulses per given time etc.

  11. 11.

    We slightly differ with our understanding of term of “semantic memory” from Minsky definition.

  12. 12.

    Semantic memory is distinct from episodic memory, which is our memory of experiences and specific events that occur during our lives, from which we can recreate at any given points.
