BlockBeats news, on March 27, according to Forbes, Ripple and Stellar founder Jed McCaleb will invest $1 billion from his approximately $3.9 billion cryptocurrency fortune through his nonprofit organization Astera Institute to develop AGI systems based on principles of the human brain. In addition, he has also committed to investing $600 million in the field of neuroscience.
Astera Institute is located in Emeryville and is currently planning to record the neural activity patterns of mice performing tasks through brain-machine interfaces, and then translate the research results into a new type of AI architecture. Future subjects will expand to monkeys and humans. McCaleb believes that the current mainstream Transformer architecture lacks key elements such as planning, decision-making, and motivation, and new directions need to be explored. AI based on human brain principles is more likely to be understood and controlled by humans.
