TED: Are insect brains the secret to great AI? | Frances S. Chance

The video explores the potential of using insect brains as models for artificial intelligence, focusing on the dragonfly's neural efficiency in hunting. It discusses the complexity of replicating human brain functions and suggests starting with simpler insect brains. The video highlights the dragonfly's ability to perform coordinate transformations quickly and efficiently, using minimal neural layers. The research aims to model these neural circuits and test predictions through simulations and experiments. The ultimate goal is to create brain-inspired computers with low power requirements, offering significant technological advancements.
