Microsoft is collaborating with Swiss startup Inait to develop an artificial intelligence model that mimics the brain’s ability to think. Both companies will initially sell the technology in the finance and robotics sectors, and then expand it to other industries.The AI that underlies the new platform is based on two decades of research in neuroscience and has a “brain programming language” that can learn from its own experience and understand cause and effect. It also includes adaptive general intelligence that can overcome the limitations of current AI systems, TechSpot reports.The technology has many practical applications. In the financial sector, the project will aim to provide clients with advanced trading algorithms, risk management tools, and personalized financial advice. In robotics, the project focuses on developing more intelligent robots that can adapt to complex work environments and situations in industrial settings. The project will use Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform to accelerate the global deployment of the new technology.Inait is a relative newcomer to the AI industry, but its leadership has an impressive track record. The company’s co-founder, Henry Markram, spent 20 years developing biologically accurate digital copies of mammalian brains. That project, which generated 18 million lines of code, is now the basis for Inait’s brain simulation model.While the original Swiss project focused primarily on the mouse brain, Markram believes his team can adapt the research to replicate the brains of other mammals, including humans. He claims that brain simulation models are typically more energy efficient than modern deep reinforcement models and learn much faster.
