[Netease Smart News, August 30th] As artificial intelligence continues to evolve at breakneck speed, scientists are pushing boundaries to make machines more akin to the human brain, capable of learning and comprehending their surroundings. Recently, Nigerian neuroscientist Agabi may have found a solution to a longstanding challenge: how to enhance the travel experience.
The joy of flying can sometimes be overshadowed by the tedious and crowded security checks that often disrupt the excitement of a trip. Imagine if there were a device that could silently detect explosives without requiring passengers to endure lengthy queues.
According to international media reports, neuroscientist Agabi has developed the world's first neuro-technological device capable of discreetly sniffing out explosives. The invention was unveiled by his Silicon Valley-based startup, Koniku, at the recent TED talk in Tanzania.
The AI sector is racing to create machines that mimic the human brain, a pursuit Musk has termed "brain-machine interface" research. Agabi discovered a method to integrate lab-grown neurons with electronic circuits. The 38-year-old scientist explained that while others focus on enhancing silicon's processing power, he has turned his attention to "the most powerful processor ever known." He noted that simulating the energy of 204 brain neurons would require a supercomputer. "Why not use these biological cells directly instead of replicating them?" This bold idea has yielded remarkable results, he claimed.
Agabi collaborated with geneticists, physicists, bioengineers, molecular biologists, and other experts to address issues that traditional silicon devices struggle with, such as detecting volatile chemicals and explosives, and even diagnosing diseases like cancer.
Agabi stated that Koniku’s equipment is unparalleled globally and can identify substances through breath analysis. Major brands, including those in the tourism industry, have already expressed interest. The startup currently earns $8 million (€7 million), with projections reaching $30 million by 2018. A key challenge remains keeping the neurons active, a secret Agabi chooses to keep under wraps.
With rapid advances in AI technology, scientists are striving to make machines increasingly brain-like, enabling them to learn and interpret environments—this is a concerning prospect for many.
Musk has repeatedly warned about the dangers posed by AI. He's spearheading a project to implant "neural network" brain-computer interface technology. Yet, Agabi envisions a future where machines become more dynamic. He believes his company can develop a human-like cognitive system based on synthetic living neurons within the next five to seven years. "This isn’t science fiction," he told reporters. "We aim to build an intelligent autonomous system using biological neurons—not a human brain."
Agabi delivered his remarks at the opening of the four-day TED Global Conference in Africa. It’s worth noting that this is the first time in a decade the event has been held on the continent. (Translated by NetEase Smart Robots)
