I notice the types you listed are far from mutually exclusive. Specifically, you gave an attribute of AI, and two ways to actually make one.
First, there’s a sliding scale of transparent to opaque. It could be something completely understood on one side, something not understood at all on the other, and something mostly understood but with significant amounts of black magic in between.
One way to write an AI is with a messy ensemble of cognitive modules. This would likely be opaque.
Whole-brain emulation is another way to make it. This would result in a very opaque system, though with time it may become better understood and more transparent.
Another way to make it that you haven’t listed would be via a genetic algorithm. Technically, WBE is a specific type of this, as brains were created by evolution.
You can’t mix transparent, opaque and WBE. You can start to understand WBE so it becomes somewhat transparent, but that’s not hybrid. If you took WBE, and then started replacing everything you could figure out with modules, and added in some modules and hoped the brain figured them out, that would be hybrid.
Also, these are more types of intelligence. There’s no particular reason they have to be digital. WBE isn’t fundamentally different than an actual whole brain.
