Get closer to artificial intelligence

Scientists are getting closer to the dream of creating computer systems that act like human brains.

>>>The human brain has grown to its limit

Experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, have designed a computer chip that mimics the way neurons (neurons) of the brain respond to information. new, according to the BBC . Such chips can allow artificial body parts to communicate with the brain. They can also open up the ability to create artificial intelligence devices in the near future.

The artificial brain will soon become a reality

There are about 100 billion neurons in the brain. Each neuron forms synapses, connecting them to allow information to flow. This process is called flexible plasticity (plasticity) and is proven to reinforce functions such as learning and memory.

Scientist Chi Sang Poon and colleagues have built a chip that can simulate the activity of a single brain synapse, highly appreciated by experts. Researchers plan to use a new chip to build systems that can simulate neural functions, such as visual processing. Such systems can be much faster than computers that need hours, even days, to simulate a brain circuit. They believe the last chip can prove faster and more efficient than biological processes.
