Ripple and Stellar founders plan to invest $1 billion to develop an AGI system based on human brain principles

According to Forbes, Ripple and Stellar founder JedMcCaleb will invest $1 billion from his approximately $3.9 billion cryptocurrency wealth to develop an AGI system based on the principles of the human brain through its non-profit organization Astera Institute. An additional $600 million was also committed to investing in neuroscience.<br /> Astera Institute is located in Emeryville and is currently planning to record the neural activity patterns of mice while performing tasks through a brain-computer interface, and then transform the research results into a new AI architecture. The experimental subjects will be expanded to include monkeys and humans in the future. McCaleb believes that the current mainstream Transformer architecture lacks key elements such as planning, decision-making and motivation, and needs to explore new directions. AI based on the principles of the human brain is more likely to be understood and controlled by humans.
