In his new paper https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hinton/FFA13.pdf, G. Hinton points our how current #neuralmodels based on #backpropagation should be replaced by mechanisms that don't contradict biological evidence and that "may be superior to backpropagation as a model of learning in cortex and as a way of making use of very low-power analog hardware without resorting to #reinforcementlearning".
In "Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds", 2021 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1138207950/), I argued the same! #AI & #CogSci converge again!
