The quest for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is increasingly informed by the understanding of the human brain’s architecture and computational processes. Brain-inspired computing, also known as neuromorphic computing, is a key avenue for developing AGI systems that mimic the efficiency, adaptability, and scalability of biological brains. This session will explore the latest advancements in brain-inspired computing technologies, which seek to create systems capable of learning, problem-solving, and generalizing across tasks in ways that are similar to human cognition.

Key Topics Covered:

• Neuromorphic Computing Architectures: Exploring the development of hardware and software inspired by neural circuits, and how these architectures replicate the brain’s ability to process information, learn from experience, and make decisions.
• Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs): How SNNs, which mimic the way neurons communicate in the brain through spikes, could serve as a foundation for developing AGI systems capable of adaptive learning and real-time decision-making.
• Energy-Efficient AGI Systems: Examining the role of brain-inspired computing in creating energy-efficient AGI models, drawing inspiration from the brain’s ability to perform complex tasks while consuming minimal power.
• Cognitive Modeling and Learning Algorithms: How AGI can be enhanced by algorithms inspired by brain processes such as reinforcement learning, memory consolidation, and hierarchical processing.
• Understanding Brain Networks for AGI Development: Leveraging insights from brain research to develop AGI systems that exhibit similar levels of adaptability, pattern recognition, and generalization across different contexts and tasks.
• Neuroplasticity and Lifelong Learning in AGI: How AGI systems can incorporate the concept of neuroplasticity, allowing for continuous learning and adaptation, as the brain does throughout a human’s life.
• Integration of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) and AGI: Investigating how BCIs can enable direct interaction between AGI systems and human cognitive processes, potentially leading to more seamless collaboration between humans and intelligent machines.
• Challenges and Limitations in Brain-Inspired AGI: Discussing the current challenges in building AGI systems based on brain-inspired computing, including computational complexity, scalability, and the ethical implications of replicating human cognitive abilities.

This session is designed for AI researchers, neuromorphic engineers, cognitive scientists, and anyone interested in the intersection of brain science and artificial intelligence.
