AI Deep Learning Revolutionizes Brain-Computer Interface Performance

A Deep Learning model enhanced brain-computer interface (BCI) performance. This was accomplished by employing noninvasive methods like EEG, allowing the user to control a cursor using their thoughts. This is an amazing breakthrough for persons with disabilities, and potentially, futuristic applications to complete day-to-day tasks.

Unveiling the Potential of GPT-4: A Prelude to Artificial General Intelligence

Highly detailed research paper focusing on comparing the GPT-4 model’s performance with human-level competency, suggesting a significant stride towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Multiple metrics were tested including coding, mathematics, medicine, and law.

Human Brain's Energy Efficiency vs. LLMs

The brain’s memory architecture contributes to its second-to-none efficiency in energy. LLMs rely on digital memory and predictive algorithms such as Neural Networks, which contribute to their high electricity and power usage. To combat this, semiconductor chip designs should mirror the brain’s memory organization to decrease the energy required to compute calculations. It also dives into the flawed design of digital memory, and the potential risks of AI.
