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.

Evidence Quote

the reason that they're sort of successful is they mimic what's happening in neurons with the tweaking of of Weights up and down but what happens in living systems is there's this beautiful bottom up stream of information um about the environment
