Neural - The Architecture of Thought: How AI Copies the Brain's Blueprint

Host Eli Mercer explores how AI architecture mirrors the human brain's hierarchical structure, from neurons to deep learning networks. Drawing on Johns Hopkins research and the 2024 Nobel Prize-winning work of Hopfield and Hinton, the episode examines whether artificial neural networks truly replicate cognition or merely copy its surface—and what gaps remain between silicon and synapses.
