Innovators Under 35

DeepMind
Using an understanding of the brain to
create smarter machines.
Greg
Wayne, a researcher at DeepMind, designs software that gets better the same way
a person might—by learning from its own mistakes. In a 2016 Nature paper
that Wayne coauthored, it was demonstrated that such software can solve things
like graph problems, logic puzzles, and tree structures that traditional neural
networks used in artificial intelligence can’t.
Wayne’s computing
insights play off his interest in connections between neurons in the human
brain—why certain structures elicit specific sensations, emotions, or
decisions. Now he often repurposes the concepts behind those brain structures
as he designs machines.
