Is there any artificially intelligent system that really mimics human intelligence? After having read something that Elon Musk said about artificial intelligence and how it could affect our lives, I've been reading about artificial intelligence, deep learning, etc. The recurrent topic is neural networks, which are used for &quot;recognition tasks&quot;.
Although this is not my main question, can we say the following about neural networks?

Neural networks use the sigmoid function and gradient descent to fine-tune weights.

In any case, neural networks do not seem to really mimic any of the properties that we associate with intelligent beings, like humans, such as thinking outside the box, being able to observe, reflect and come up with innovations.
So, is there any artificially intelligent system that really mimics human intelligence?
As far as emulating an intelligent being, no. There are a few different potential architectures for possible AGI. Many of these are extremely infantile, as the bulk of AI research is in narrow AI, which focuses on creating algorithms that are highly specialized for a specific task.

With that being said, here is one supervised learning approach to this problem by Andrej Karpathy: Karpathy Method

OpenAI, also has a team who works on the AGI problem.
