Google Brain's Co-inventor Tells Why He's Building Chinese Neural Networks

An anonymous reader writes "Here's an interview with Andrew Ng, former leader of Google Brain, discussing Baidu, Deep Learning, computer neural networks, and AI. An interesting excerpt from the interview on biological vs. computer neural networks: "A single 'neuron' in a neural network is an incredibly simple mathematical function that captures a minuscule fraction of the complexity of a biological neuron. So to say neural networks mimic the brain, that is true at the level of loose inspiration, but really artificial neural networks are nothing like what the biological brain does."

On the other hand ...

artificial neural networks are nothing like what the biological brain does.

... there are quite a few people around who tried to overclock their brains during the '60s and '70s.
