One of the biggest buzzwords and trends in 2018 was Artificial Intelligence. AI was everywhere you looked from the Echo speaker in your living room to the algorithms powering your Facebook feed and Google searches. 2019 promises more of the same and then some thanks to new research that shows it may be possible to create the next generation of AI from good old DNA.
According to I Fucking Love Science, “Researchers at Caltech have built an artificial neural network made exclusively from man-made organic matter. One day, a more advanced version of the network could potentially diagnose diseases, make decisions, and even forge its own memories. For now, it is able to categorize handwritten numbers, as shown in a study published in the journal Nature.”
What else could this amazing innovation be used for?!
As The Next Web puts it, “The smart soup is more like a broth at this point, but it has the potential to become a full-fledged stew with further development. Eventually, such a neural network could be developed to add AI at the molecular level to, well, everything. Artificially intelligent molecules could be the key to developing invisibility paint or disease-eradicating nanobots – the possibilities are almost endless.”
Clearly Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. What form it winds up taking, however, has yet to be determined.
Is AI made from DNA the Greatest Idea Ever?
