But different types of machine learning, such as speech recognition or identifying objects in an image,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/s\/607894\/why-googles-ceo-is-excited-about-automating-artificial-intelligence\/\">require different mathematical structures<\/a>, and the resulting algorithms are only able to perform very specific tasks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Building AI that can perform general tasks, rather than niche ones, is a long-held desire in the world of machine learning. But the truth is that expanding those specialized algorithms to something more versatile remains an incredibly difficult problem, in part because human traits like inquisitiveness, imagination, and memory don\u2019t exist or are only in their infancy in the world of AI.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">First, they say, better understanding of how the brain works will allow us to create new structures and algorithms for electronic intelligence.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">From DSC:<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"> Glory to God!
