Cognitive or intellectual development means the growth of an AI's ability to think and reason. Most of the AI and ML algorithms works either on training or data provided to them. Be it supervised or unsupervised learning, all algorithms revolves around the idea of learning by an AI algorithm rather than cognitive and intellectual growth. In this talk, the speaker will be talking about the most important use case of an AI which we humans are most afraid of, "The ability to think and reason".

This talk is focused on the algorithms and design of intellect in AI. how an AI should listen to a language and learn it, to read a book and reason it, to not just memorise the knowledge but also have an ability to apply that knowledge just as a human would do. It takes years for a person to learn about a subject and then apply that in research and development. This can be done simply by having AI which can reason and brainstorm with a person the same way a research partner will.

The fear of it - most of humanity is afraid of advanced AI as it might be the cause of humanity's self-destruction as soon as it can think and reason like us. This is not true, developing an AI which can have cognitive capabilities is similar to growing a child. It depends on what you feed to it and how you do it.
