summaryIn just a few years, AI has transitioned from a specialized field into a transformative force for industries and society. Beyond this technical progress, the development of AI provides a new paradigm to understand the intricate workings of the human brain. To illustrate this, we will delve into a series of experiments that systematically compare deep learning algorithms with the human brain in response to images, sounds, and texts. These comparisons consistently show a partial convergence between the representations learned by AI algorithms and those effectively instantiated in our cortex. These results -- largely unexpected by both the AI and Neuroscience communities -- together provide an operational foundation for uncovering the general principles that govern the acquisition, structuring, and manipulation of knowledge in biological and artificial neural networks.
