Today on the show, we are joined by Lin Zhao and Lu Zhang. Lin is a Senior Research Scientist at United Imaging Intelligence, while Lu is a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Texas. They both shared findings from their work When Brain-inspired AI Meets AGI. Lin and Lu began by discussing the connections between the brain and neural networks. They mentioned the similarities as well as the differences. They also shared whether there is a possibility for solid advancements in neural networks to the point of AGI. They shared how understanding the brain more can help drive robust artificial intelligence systems. Lin and Lu shared how the brain inspired popular machine learning algorithms like transformers. They also shared how AI models can learn alignment from the human brain. They juxtaposed the low energy usage of the brain compared to high-end computers and whether computers can become more energy efficient.

Lu Zhang, founder of Fusion Fund, discusses the potential of AI in enterprise applications, focusing on practical and cost-efficient solutions. She emphasizes the importance of reducing energy consumption and addressing sustainability challenges in AI infrastructure. Lu also highlights the growing awareness and adoption of AI in enterprises, encouraging startups to innovate in this space.

Lu Zhang, Founder and Managing Partner of Fusion Fund, discusses the transformative power of AI in healthcare. They explore her journey from serial entrepreneur to venture capitalist, the challenges and opportunities in the healthcare sector, and the future of AI in various industries.
