Neurons vs. Deep Learning: What Is Gained, What Is Lost

Artificial neurons are mathematical abstractions of their biological counterparts. They mimic the way electrical signals fire and combine in the human brain, but they leave out the chemistry of consciousness: the hormones, memories, and emotions that color thought. In...

AI Agents and the Social Environment of the Digital Revolution

Today’s AI agents, like digital assistants and autonomous bots, owe their existence to a century-long chain of visionaries who bridged science and society. From Alan Turing’s abstract idea of “machines that think,” to the hacker culture of the 1980s, to the...

Artificial General Intelligence and the Essence of Being Digital

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) represents a new frontier in the digital revolution, one that challenges our definition of what it means to be digital. Unlike narrow AI systems that operate within fixed parameters, AGI seeks to emulate the flexibility,...

Weaving Project

For our assignment, I created a paper weaving design that spelled out my initials, HW. At first glance, it was just strips of paper going over and under each other, but the process felt like a clear metaphor for the transition from analog to digital systems. The...

AI & Neural Networks

When I first started learning about artificial intelligence, one of the most eye-opening concepts was the idea of a neural network. At its core, a neural network is modeled after how the human brain processes information. It begins with input nodes, which are like the...
