A team of scientists from the University of Sydney discovered that the key to developing artificial intelligence may be to mimic the human brain, which some neuroscientists think operates in a critical state at the edge of chaos.
From Science Alert:
The team used varying levels of electricity on a nanowire simulation, finding a balance when the electric signal was too low when the signal was too high. If the signal was too low, the network's outputs weren't complex enough to be useful; if the signal was too high, the outputs were a mess and also useless.
...
For now, the scientists have shown that nanowire networks can do their best problem solving right on the line between order and chaos, much like our brain is thought to be able to, and that puts us a step closer to AI that thinks as we do.
