The differences between Artificial and Biological Neural Networks

<p>Although artificial neurons and perceptrons were&nbsp;<a href="https://medium.com/@ivanliljeqvist/the-essence-of-artificial-neural-networks-5de300c995d6" rel="noopener">inspired&nbsp;</a>by the biological processes scientists were able to observe in the brain back in the 50s, they do differ from their biological counterparts in several ways. Birds have inspired flight and horses have inspired locomotives and cars, yet none of today&rsquo;s transportation vehicles resemble metal skeletons of living-breathing-self replicating animals. Still, our limited machines are even more powerful in their own domains (thus, more useful to us humans), than their animal &ldquo;ancestors&rdquo; could ever be. It is easy to draw the wrong conclusions from the possibilities in AI research by anthropomorphizing Deep Neural Networks, but artificial and biological neurons do differ in more ways than just the materials of their containers.</p> <p><a href="https://towardsdatascience.com/the-differences-between-artificial-and-biological-neural-networks-a8b46db828b7"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
