Can the human brain provide the reference architecture for more human-like AI?
Coming out of discussions at the PL Neuro Connectomics Workshop last month, Moritz Helmstaedter details a 10-year, $10–20B technical path to map every synapse in the human brain.

Humans already alter their own brain states — coffee boosts focus and alcohol relaxes.
Neurotech could deliver the same effects with precision and without the systemic risks.

What if we could redesign AI to mirror biology’s efficiency?
Reardon & the Flourish team are exploring exactly that. By mapping neural connections in the human brain, they aim to develop biology-inspired AI that is radically more energy-efficient.

With $500 million in funding and a reported $2.5 billion valuation, Flourish wants to reinvent AI by putting real neurons under the microscope.
So pleased that our paper on empowerment and causal models is out and freely available as part of this impressive special issue on world models and AI, with Melanie Mitchell, Josh Tenenbaum, Tom Griffiths and many other stars.

Abstract. This special issue examines how natural and artificial intelligences (AIs) model the world, and what this modelling reveals about cognition and r
Excited to launch a new podcast on the future of neurotech, computing, intelligence, and more.
