NeuroAI

NeuroAI is an emerging field at the intersection of brain sciences and artificial intelligence and is expected to become a large research field in the years to come. The main promise of NeuroAI is that by understanding how the brain and biological neural networks compute, it will be possible to identify the key components of human intelligence to drive the development of a more energy-efficient and flexible artificial intelligence (AI) that will match, or perhaps even surpass, human intelligence. NeuroAI is a truly multidisciplinary effort, spanning across several disciplines such as computer science, neuroscience, psychology,

philosophy, linguistics, law, and ethics. Norway has unique world-class expertise in brain sciences and a fast-growing, well-organized AI community at the highest international level.

In this opinion article, it is argued that Norway has a few competitive advantages within NeuroAI and that Norway has the ideal ecosystem to take a leading role in NeuroAI initiatives in Europe. Norwegian investments in NeuroAI may then be a strategic initiative to position Norway at the forefront of AI research worldwide.

With this as a background, we have established NeuroAI Norway as a special interest group (SIG). A first meeting was held at Simula on January 24^th. We are open for the Norwegian community to take part in this SIG. To receive information and invitations from the SIG and become a member of this group, please register at the bottom of the page.
