Accelerating Neuroscience to Change AI's Trajectory
Abundance for neuroscience, d/acc for AI
Neuroscience is slow. AI is fast. How, then, can neuroscience change the trajectory of AI? We must first accelerate neuroscience!
We think that the path forward is through distillation of neural data; and the most impactful path for neuroAI is toward AI safety. In this blog post, we unpack how we came to that conclusion; how the emulation and distillation paths to AI safety differ in their payoff timelines; what we can hope to learn from the brain’s representations; and why we think AI safety is over-leveraged on a handful of approaches.
Our goal at the Amaranth Foundation is to bring about a positive transition to AGI. We’ve got many more posts in the pipeline covering everything from brain aging and longevity to abundant solar energy. Hit the subscribe button over there to get these updates.
