Badr AlKhamissi wrote a deep dive exploring whether the "virtuous circle" of mutual inspiration between AI and neuroscience still exists.
The article reviews the vision of "neuroscience-inspired AI" proposed by Hassabis et al. in 2017. The author notes that while neuroscience once handed AI its best ideas, the current of knowledge has now reversed: AI is providing the most impactful insights into neuroscience (AI -> Neuro), which the author feels is currently the most impactful direction.
