An international group of scientists described a new method of learning artificial intelligence – with the help of nickel and hydrogen oxide. It is reported by the Conversation edition.
Specialists found out that nickel oxide has the ability to imitate the most basic features of animals when learning. This compound can be used using hydrogen in creating future computers.
Research Member, Professor Sriram Ramanatan said that the fundamental features of training are addictive and sensitization. Biologists showed it on experiments with marine slugs. The latter have become accustomed to frequent touch and every time the gills were drawn in less. At the same time, when the slug was hit by a current, he dragged the gills so much how she never did – the animal demonstrated the sensitization phenomenon.
When alternating the supply of air and gaseous hydrogen on nickel oxide, the material begins to demonstrate similar abilities. For example, when exposed to hydrogen, its crystalline structure changes slightly, more electrons appear to generate an electric current. At the same time, the reaction of the compound gradually became less apparent – nickel oxide “got used to”. Ozone rendered to the connection the same effect as a blow to the slim.
Specialists stated that nickel oxide or another such connection theoretically can be used to create blocks for self-learned computers of the future. “We will see further breakthroughs that can bring the researchers to create computers imitating the animal brain,” Ramanatan said.
Previously, Cortical Labs specialists created a mini-brain and taught his cells to play virtual ping pong. Researchers noted that the cells learned the game faster than artificial intelligence.
