Scientists create AI that LEARNS like the human mind

The idea of a robot that can learn and function on its own, without the need for any human help, might sound like the plot to the latest science fiction blockbuster. But scientists have got one step closer to making this a reality with the creation of the first artificial brain connection that can learn autonomously. The groundbreaking study represents a big step toward intelligent machines that learn without the need for human input. Researchers have long-looked to the human brain for inspiration in creating an intelligent machine that can learn. The tiny electronic component consists of a thin layer of material sandwiched between two electrodes.
