Why Neuroscience Is the Key To Innovation in AI

The future of AI lies in neuroscience. So says Google DeepMind's founder Demis Hassabis in a review paper published last week in the prestigious journal Neuron. Hassabis is no stranger to both fields. Armed with a PhD in neuroscience, the computer maverick launched London-based DeepMind to recreate intelligence in silicon. In 2014, Google snagged up the company for over $500 million.
