10 SMT007 MAGAZINE I APRIL 2025 Artificial Intelligence Part 5: Brain, Mind, Intelligence SMT Perspectives and Prospects by Dr. Jennie S. Hwang, CEO, H-TECHNOLOGIES GROUP Filmmaker James Cameron, who directed "e Terminator," "Avatar," "Titanic," and other award-winning movies, equates gener- ative artificial intelligence (AI) with human dreams. Can we explain dreams' origins, con- tent formation, and links to real events, emo- tions, and memories? Are dreams the result of the brain interpreting neural signals dur- ing sleep? Although it is generally understood that dreams are the confluence of neurological, psychological, and physical processes dur- ing sleep, can we answer the above questions through experiences or science? Experts widely agree that early child- hood is the most sensitive period for form- ing strong neural connections and establish- ing foundational neural architecture, making it the most important period for brain devel- opment. Early childhood lays the founda- tion for future learning, behavior, and emo- tional well-being. e brain has all the power in connections, wiring, storage, memory, and processing to function as a human being. e human brain also requires a lot of fuel; it reportedly reaches its peak with approxi- mately 100 billion nerve cells or neurons, and it takes 20W to power a brain 1 .
