Deep learning networks mimic what happens in biological neurons with tweaking of weights, but living systems have a bottom-up stream of information about the environment through emotion, and original Pavlovian conditioning (which modern reinforcement learning is based on) involves unconditioned stimuli like pleasure and pain—yet we don't understand how to incorporate the biology of emotion into AI systems.
