Cortical Labs uses two methods to create its hardware: It either extracts mouse neurons from embryos or it uses a technique in which human skin cells are transformed back into stem cells and then induced to grow into human neurons, Chong said. That demonstration helped lead to Google’s purchase of DeepMind the following year. company known for its work with artificial neural networks, software that in some ways mimics the functioning of human neurons- first used to demonstrate the performance of its A.I. The benchmark is significant because Pong was among the early Atari games that DeepMind-the London-based A.I. Currently, the company is working to get its mini-brains-which so far are approaching the processing power of a dragonfly brain-to play the old Atari arcade game Pong, Hon Weng Chong, the company’s cofounder and chief executive officer, said. Cortical Labs, based in Melbourne, is hoping to teach these hybrid mini-brains to perform many of the same tasks that software-based artificial intelligence can, but at a fraction of the energy consumption. It’s actually building miniature disembodied brains, using real, biological neurons embedded on a specialized computer chip. But now an Australian startup has gone a step further. One of the most promising approaches to artificial intelligence is to try to mimic how the human brain works in software.
