In recent years, a growing number of leading AI experts have drawn striking parallels between artificial neural networks and the human brain, suggesting that machine intelligence may not only equal but eventually exceed human cognitive abilities. Geoffrey Hinton, often called the Godfather of Deep Learning, remarked, "Our brains are just big neural networks. There's no reason a neural network can't do anything a brain can do."
In the same vein, Yann LeCun, Meta's Chief AI Scientist, stated, "Intelligence — whether biological or artificial — is the ability to predict, plan, reason, and learn. There's no fundamental law that says machines can't surpass us in all of them." These assertions reflect a widespread belief in the AI community that by mimicking the structure and learning me
