Traditional neural networks mimic just a small part of our Neocortex. In the human brain data flows in all directions, inside organizational units and through them to other components of the brain. Many researchers already recognized the fact that we need more.
Even the smallest animals can act autonomously - while our sophisticated Deep Networks can't. It is because our powerful capabilities are based on rich connections between Neocortex AND a set of subcortical components that until now were completely ignored.
Who said that AI will ever remain "black-box"? Brain-like high-level structure allows both for the system, developers and users to understand what is happening inside. And react if it is necessary - make real-time changes without a need to stop and re-train.
