how our technology works. and the company claims that basing algorithms on insect brains could be a more efficient way of creating ai. importantly, it would also be a more affordable method for lower—cost robotic applications and that is the market that opteran is targeting. the current approach to ai is fundamentally flawed because it is really based on a caricature of how real brains work. it is kind of a tiny piece of the puzzle that has just been scaled up and applied to lots of different data with lots of computing power. but that means it is very fragile. it doesn't work the way real brains work and it is very opaque. we don't really understand what it is doing half the time, and that is not a good enough solution for autonomous systems. nature has come up with a weird and wonderful ways of doing things that humans could never figure out, so maybe there is a lot more technologists can learn from the other creatures around us. that's it from us
