From the Periodic Table to Thinking Matter: Two Physical Pathways to Human and AI Cognition

2026-08-21

Abstract excerpt

Human cognition has traditionally been considered an exceptional outcome of biological evolution. Artificial intelligence now provides a second and fundamentally different example of a material system capable of performing functions associated with cognition, including learning, memory, pattern recognition, language processing, prediction, reasoning, and problem solving. The two systems differ profoundly in archit...
