How neuroscience enables better Artificial Intelligence design

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is evolving at light-speed. Artificial systems are capable of outperforming human experts on many levels: crunching data, analysing legal documents, solving Rubix cubes, and winning games both ancient and modern. They can produce writing indistinguishable from their human counterparts, conduct research, pen pop songs, translate between multiple languages and even create and critique art. And AI-driven tasks like object detection, speech recognition and machine translation are becoming more sophisticated every day. These advances can be credited to many developments, from improved statistical approaches to increased computer processing powers.
