Seeing AI created from the intelligence of ... worms can park perfectly

Don't underestimate worms, its intelligence is also used to create AI here.

is one of the free, transparent, round nematodes, about 1mm long. This is the organism that has the whole nervous system so simple that scientists can form a diagram. We know very well about this worm and even, scientists try to digitize its simple nervous system for use in experiments. In other words, create a smart AI like worms.

C. elegans under a microscope.

A team of researchers led by Ramon Hasani of Wien Technical University (Vienna, Austria) has successfully trained an AI network made up of only 12 digital neurons inspired by the system. nervous system of C. elegans. This network is used to test a small parked toy car in the right place.

Of course, the research goal is not to see if worms can drive, but to create a simple AI that makes it easier for humans to control. The key issue of neural network systems is that they are too complex, sometimes containing millions of points of intersection, making it difficult for us to intervene and control.

Another trial that is studied is the similarity between the nervous system on the true worm and the digital nervous system, and researchers want to know if there is any connection between the two. Hasani said that both the real and the digital nervous system contain two neurons that seem to be opposite, when one neuron is active, the other does not.

Researchers hope that through these simple nervous systems, they can create easy-to-control AIs in the future.
