Are insects the key to brain-inspired computing? Neuroscientist Frances S. Chance thinks so. In this buzzy talk, she shares examples of the incredible capabilities of insects -- like the dragonfly's deadly accurate hunting skills and the African dung beetle's superstrength -- and shows how untangling the mysterious web of neurons in their tiny brains could lead to breakthroughs in computers, AI and more.

Frances S. Chance: Are insect brains the secret to great AI?

Are insect brains the secret to great AI?

Unlocking the brain's mysteries starts with insects, whose specialized abilities offer blueprints for advanced AI and computing.

The dragonfly's hunting prowess, calculated in milliseconds, reveals efficient neural circuits that could revolutionize computing.

Brain-inspired computing could lead to low-power devices, navigating and defending like insects, transforming technology use.
