The Synergy Between Neuroscience and AI

Neuroscience and artificial intelligence are intertwining in innovative ways, enhancing the development of both fields. Insights from brain function, particularly in how it processes complex information, are being applied to improve AI models. For instance, the brain's use of reinforcement learning allows it to adapt and predict outcomes based on experience, which is now being integrated into AI systems for procedural tasks. This synergy indicates a growing understanding of how biological principles can inform and advance machine learning methodologies.
