GOThe intelligence we’re building may not be “artificial” at all.
Microsoft Chief Scientific Officer Eric Horvitz argues that the term Artificial Intelligence is misleading. Instead, he prefers “Computational Intelligence” — because the same underlying principles that power machine learning systems also apply to biological brains.
In other words, human minds and AI systems may operate on the same fundamental computational rules.
This changes the way we think about the AI revolution.
We’re not necessarily creating a digital imitation of intelligence. We may be scaling the same processes that already exist in nature, transferring them from biological neurons to silicon chips.
Horvitz also highlights something deeper.
As humans increasingly work with AI, our decisions, values, and ways of thinking could gradually be shaped by the systems we interact with. The relationship between humans and machines becomes a feedback loop.
At the same time, advances in AI are expected to unlock major breakthroughs in biology, medicine, and healthcare within the next 10–15 years.
If intelligence is truly universal — not artificial — the boundary between human cognition and machine computation may be far thinner than we once believed.
And that raises a difficult question:
Are we using the intelligence we created…
or are we slowly evolving alongside it?
