According to experts, artificial intelligence that mimics the human brain could lead to smarter and more efficient computers.
The truth about brain chips.
Nara Logics’ new AI engine uses recent discoveries in neuroscience to replicate the structure and function of the brain. The research is part of a decades-long quest to create computers that can “think” as well as or better than humans. Simulating brain function is one promising approach.
“There are clear advantages to copying what seems to work in biology and implementing it in machines to support automated decision-making across a broad spectrum of daily activities,” said Stephen TC Wong, a professor of computer science at the Houston Methodist Research Institute, in an email interview.
The applications for human-like AI could range from “playing chess, recognizing faces and trading stocks to making medical diagnoses, driving autonomous vehicles and conducting business negotiations or even legal proceedings,” he added.
