In one of my news feeds this morning was this:
On Tuesday, MIT researchers announced that they have … solved, “the differential equation behind the interaction of two neurons through synapses… to unlock a new type of fast and efficient artificial intelligence algorithms.”
I remember a long time ago, when I first read of carbon “fullerene,” I had a feeling that we were at a turning point. Same when I read that neural nets could be replicated in software.
The announcement above triggers that response. I believe scientists may be overcoming one of the last barriers to thinking machines.
