What Can Neural Networks Do? Test Your Knowledge!

It turns out that the first neural network appeared back in 1957. Cornell University psychologist Frank Rosenblatt created it and called it Perceptron. Although Perceptron was primitive and single-level, this neural network is called the first incarnation of an artificial intelligence system as close to its modern form as possible.

Despite the rapid growth and development of artificial intelligence systems, the universal neural network has not yet been invented. For now, AGI, or artificial general intelligence, remains science fiction. But we are sure that talented IT innovators and neuro-enthusiasts will realise this idea soon!

Neural nets can even do this. American engineers have invented a neural network that reads minds! Meta Platforms Holding has developed a unique neural network that reads human brain activity and turns it into speech! True, its accuracy is only 73%. Nevertheless, you will probably agree that this is already a success! After all, in the future, the engineers' development will allow people with brain injuries to regain speech. 

You must be a real neuro-enthusiast if you are convinced that neural networks can replace officials. But that's not true, at least not yet.
Neural networks can analyse large data sets, identify patterns and contradictions in the phenomena under consideration, and even predict events! However, a neural network does not possess intelligence and consciousness. That is why prominent leaders and managers use AI systems, but neural networks are still far away from becoming the mayor of a whole city!

For example, in America, artificial intelligence predicts offences and even tells judges what decisions should be made and how exactly to punish criminals for the committed crime. Meanwhile in Dubai, robot police officers have already been hired to help find, catch and detain lawbreakers.

In fact, there was no such story. After all, modern neural networks, despite their rapid development, do not have their own consciousness and cannot think for themselves. They can only follow commands and respond to human requests as part of machine learning.

The ChatGPT neural network is listed as a co-author and even an independent author of some works. For example, designer Ammaar Reshi wrote a children's book with the help of AI. The enthusiast used ChatGPT for the text and Midjourney for the illustrations. Ammaar spent two days creating the tale “Alice and Sparkle.” “I spent the weekend playing with ChatGPT, Midjourney, and other AI tools… and by combining all of them, published a children’s book co-written and illustrated by AI!” It's a story about a girl named Alice who creates a robot called Spark, equipped with artificial intelligence. You can already buy the book on Amazon for $9!

A painting created by the Midjourney neural network won first place in the Digital Art category at the Colorado State Fair. It's called Theatre D'opéra Spatial and depicts a sci-fi opera theatre in a space alien environment.

Artificial intelligence Benjamin, led by director Oscar Sharpe and Google developer Ross Goodwin, created the short film Zone Out in just 48 hours. It is made up of fragments of old cinema and is about a scientist who tries to stop the spread of a virus that changes people's faces beyond recognition.
