Neuroscience and AI: Powerful allies in understanding intelligence

“Our intelligence is what makes us human, and AI is an extension of that quality.” — Yann LeCun

Cutting-edge research findings from neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) are coming together to make great strides in our understanding of intelligence a reality. Recent ground-breaking methodological advances in neuroscience now make it possible to collect data from bigger populations of neurons (information-transmitting brain cells) than ever before. But making sense of the sheer quantity of information produced…
