AI system self-organizes to develop features of brains of complex organisms.

Researchers mapped each “neuron” of their AI system to a physical location, creating a constraint found in physical brains. “When the system was asked to perform the task under these constraints, it used some of the same tricks used by real human brains to solve the task. For example, to get around the constraints, the artificial systems started to develop hubs—highly connected nodes that act as conduits for passing information across the network.” ~ learn more
