The founder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly invested couple of million dollars in an Artificial Intelligence Company to develop an artificial brain.
This has become a new rage in the celebrity world, as SpaceX founder Elon Musk and Hollywood hunk Ashton Kutcher have also invested in the company Vicarious FPC over $40 million to create artificial brain.
The company wants to build a computer with human touch – a computer that thinks like a person. It is like creating an artificial brain which can controls movement, vision, language and other complex processes without tiring or eating.
Recently Vicarious co-founder Scott Phoenix told the Wall Street Journal that they are “building software that thinks and learns like a human” adding, “Except it doesn’t have to eat or sleep.”
The company website is claiming that Vicarious is developing “machine learning software based on the computational principles of the human brain. Our first technology is a visual perception system that interprets the contents of photographs and videos in a manner similar to humans. Powering this technology is a new computational paradigm we call the Recursive Cortical Network.”
