Nara Logics’new AI engine uses recent discoveries in neuroscience to replicate brain structure and function.

Simulating brain function is one promising approach.

Wong, a computer science professor at Houston Methodist Research Institute, said in an email interview.

Nature Beats Software

Nara Logics claims its new AI platform beats traditional neural online grid-based systems.

Unlike other AI models, the Nara software also can provide the reasons behind every recommendation it makes.

For example, approaches such as IBM Watson need 1,000 times more power to process information."

Another benefit to AI that works like the brain is the reduced requirement for training materials, Levine said.

Most forms of AI now require thousands or millions of examples to be accurate.

Human-like AI could bring more flexible thinking, experts say.

“AI systems today can repeatedly make the same mistakes,” Kothari said.

“The main challenge is that we dont actually know how the brain processes information,” Levine said.

Researchers are working to understand how the brain works and apply these insights to AI.

After all, planes fly, but bear little resemblance to birds, he pointed out.

Meanwhile, the worlds brightest scientists are working hard against the “non-intelligent” COVID-19 virus.
