Abstract
One may think that Deep Learning technology works in ways that are similar to the human brain. This is not really true. Our best AI technology still does not mimic the brain sufficiently well to be a match in intelligence. I will describe seven differences on how our minds work in ways diametrically opposite to those of Deep Learning technology.
