FEATURES Is the brain a useful model for AI? It's possible that AI models don't need to mimic the brain at all. The machine-learning algorithms behind many recent AI milestones can't be programmed or reverse-engineered in the same way as conventional software. As we interact with more AI systems, perhaps our own remarkable capacity for learning will help us develop a theory of machine mind, to intuit their motivations and behavior.

The article discusses the scientist Fei-Fei Li who is the researcher that built ImageNet which is a database that helps computers recognize images. It states that through the help of artificial intelligence tools like ImageNet, a computer can be taught to learn a specific task and then act far faster than human beings.
