New AI mimics brain, enhancing memory and perception

A new artificial intelligence architecture, incorporating a "height" dimension, aims to mimic the human brain's complexity, sparking debate about the limits of AI. This advancement could revolutionize AI's memory and perception. Researchers introduced a neural network design with intra-layer links and feedback loops, mimicking brain structures. This approach, detailed in the journal *Patterns*, seeks to improve AI's ability to refine decisions, potentially enhancing its cognitive abilities. While the innovation promises advancements in AI, neuroscientists caution against equating AI with the human mind, emphasizing fundamental differences in learning and cognition. The technology's future may involve hybrid designs.
