Why Neuro-Inspired AI?

When you start learning about artificial intelligence, you will see a lot of math, statistics and computer science. However, it all started with neuroscience when the computational neuron, called the perceptron, was designed by imitating how a biological neuron functions.

There are more ways than just perceptrons that neuroscience and artificial intelligence have influenced each other. Various neural networks that imitate how brains work have been designed, and artificial intelligence has been used to learn more about our brains. Neuroscience-inspired artificial intelligence could be a key to figure out how our brain works and build a machine with artificial general intelligence.

The information we have researched has a focus on the key role neuroscience has played in the development of Artificial Intelligence technology and within our blog you can find information on topics including:
