What is the long-term effect of the today’s hardware architecture choices (Von Neumann or parallel architectures of GPUs etc.) on the trajectory of AI system development?. What do Marr’s three levels say about that? How do NVIDIA's parallel hardware impact the way we perceive intelligence?

Let us consider the possibility that the behavioural similarity of different intelligences could be coupled with their endogenous structural similarities. While it’s plausible for other forms of intelligences to exhibit some similarity to the human traits, the likelihood of such emergence might be comparatively lower once designed independent of human brain. In other words, it seems reasonable to hypothesize that similar structural properties might lead to similar functional and operational characteristics under several known conditions.

I would suppose ground breaking genuine research work might be needed to precisely define such conditions and demonstrate a potentially inherent coupling between the hardware (the architecture) and the software (algorithm and/or learnable applications) in any intelligent system.

How about the effects of the hardware on which the intelligence is implemented on the development of our brain tissue? neural connectivity? biochemistry of information transfer? All such considerations must be given priority in the design of next generation AI if we really want to maintain a healthy mental state at the societal level and uphold human values against corruption.
