It was achieved for the first time in the world. A group of Russian scientists managed to connect the brain of a rat to artificial intelligence (AI). In the future, the developers plan to create a custom product. It will help connect the human brain with an AI interface that provides access to the knowledge of all humanity. The first union of AI and the brain is a window to the future.
«It was done by the Russian biotechnological laboratory Neiry, together with scientists from Moscow State University. He presented the first results of an unprecedented experiment. For the first time in the world, scientists and developers have connected the brain of a rat to artificial intelligence (AI). The rat is capable of answering any question using a keyboard,” they point out from the laboratory.
Interface
The scientists connected the brain of the laboratory rat Pifia to a neurointerface. This device works in tandem with an AI. This suggests the correct response through electrical stimulation of the brain. The neurointerface electrodes allow specific areas of the rodent’s brain to be stimulated. Thus you experience certain sensations in a certain place when the answer is “yes” and in another when it is “no.” For each correct answer, the animal received a reward.
In this way, the rat correctly answered hundreds of scientific questions. From the nature of quasars and myelin sheaths, to the Python language and Albert Einstein’s birthday.
In the future, anyone with an implanted neurointerface will be able to do exactly the same. A bespoke product would be created that helps connect the human brain with the knowledge of all humanity.
Evolution
«The user will be able to intuit the truth or falsity of any statement or intuitively understand which answer to a test is correct. All this will increase the effectiveness of human activity. This was commented by the general director of Neiry, Alexandr Pánov.
The first union of AI and the brain can change our future as individuals. The entire evolution of humanity is directed towards increasing efficiency. This project will take human beings to the next step. “AI will be your faithful and reliable symbiotic assistant,” he concludes.
