A hypothesis of consciousness or intelligent neuronet information systems

  • Published:
Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper deals with the problematics of artificial intelligence and is devoted to problems of investigation of natural systems and synthesis of artificial intelligence systems. The specificity of functioning of biological intelligence systems is illustrated by simple examples. These examples allow one to disclose a probable mechanism that provides the formation of consciousness inherent in living beings and whose explicit manifestation is thinking. The natural-science aspect of the content of fundamental concepts such as semantics and knowledge is also considered as applied to the functioning of these systems. Based on paradigms of several scientific schools and that of system approach, general concepts and approaches to the solution of the problem of artificial intelligence are presented.
