More than MACs: exploring the role of neuromorphic engineering in the age of LLMs
Abstract The introduction of large language models has significantly expanded global demand for computing; addressing this growing demand requires novel approaches that introduce new capabilities while addressing extant needs. Although inspiration from biological systems served as the foundation on which modern artificial intelligence (AI) was developed, many modern advances have been made without clear parallels to biological computing. As a result, the ability of techniques inspired by ``natural intelligence'' (NI) to inflect modern AI systems may be questioned. However, by analyzing remaining disparities between AI and NI, we argue that further biological inspiration can contribute towards expanding the capabilities of artificial systems, enabling them to succeed in real-world environments and adapt to niche applications. To elucidate which NI mechanisms can contribute toward this goal, we review and compare elements of biological and artificial computing systems, emphasizing areas of NI that have not yet been effectively captured by AI. We then suggest areas of opportunity for NI-inspired mechanisms that can inflect AI hardware and software.

The article delves into the conceptual frameworks surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) by juxtaposing it with natural intelligence and delineating the correlated notions. It enumerates the issues propelling the discourse on the explored topics. The author proposes a bifurcation between two polar concepts of artificial intelligence. The first is dubbed “imitative,” where AI is perceived in relation to natural intelligence as its technical recreation, capable of not only emulating but significantly outstripping its natural counterpart. A prerequisite for embodying this concept is understanding natural intelligence; three approaches are examined: (a) acknowledging the lack of a precise understanding of natural intelligence, (b) exploring it from a biological perspective, and (c) analyzing it from a psychological perspective. The author articulates their own interpretation of natural intelligence, portraying it as a multifaceted amalgam of cultural, historical, social, and anthropological elements. From this vantage point, natural intelligence emerges not merely as a natural formation (thereby, discussions about the laws governing its function and evolution are warranted), but also as an “extra-natural” formation, its existence dictated by randomness and uniqueness, meaning natural intelligence evolves in a “singular” manner. In the context of comparing natural and artificial intelligence, the discussion encompasses several issues: the feasibility of the control of natural intelligence processes, the structure of neural networks, the superiority of computer programs in chess, the use of neural networks to write academic papers, and so forth. The conclusion posits that given artificial intelligence, despite its complexity, remains a technical invention orchestrated and brought to fruition by humans as a tool; society, if inclined to bestow AI with autonomy for tackling specific tasks, ought to do so prudently to prevent self-detriment and retain the ability to curtail or utterly revoke such autonomy.

This paper mainly focuses on the creation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) using natural intelligence but the question to be considered whether the natural intelligence can be created using artificial intelligence or not. The Artificial intelligence is the outcome of functionality and capabilities of human brain called neural Network. In this paper, it is presumed that the artificial intelligence is a byproduct of natural intelligence and then we discuss some relationship between both of these, especially the working of natural intelligence. Some other important questions are raised to understand a deep linkage between natural and artificial intelligence. There exists lot of non-material phenomenon created by dint of natural intelligence (not created by human) causing to produce systems run by artificial intelligence theorems and algorithms working at backend. The software based on Knowledge Based Systems (KBS) derives its power from human wisdom and natural intelligence. There are several limitations on artificial intelligence. In creation of natural intelligence there is a great role of spirituality.Humans are creator of artificial intelligence with limited abilities. Actually AI started with invention of machines. The applications of creation of natural intelligence are vastly and abundantly known to humans of 21st Century, which are incorporated in the areas of Space Science, Anatomy, and motion ofPlants, spin of electron, Electronics, plant intelligence and Neural Science etc. The working of machines depending upon the artificial intelligence doesn't provide creativity or self-motivated innovations, within the meaning of natural intelligence.

INTRODUCTION: The interaction between natural and artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly significant as technology evolves. While natural intelligence has historically driven human progress, AI introduces new models in problem-solving and decision-making. This study explores the dynamics between these forms of intelligence and their implications for public health technology assessment. METHODS: This review employs a multidisciplinary approach, including historical analysis, comparative case studies, and examination of ethical considerations, to assess the impact of AI relative to natural intelligence. RESULTS: Natural intelligence has traditionally addressed complex problems, but AI now enhances capabilities through data analysis and precision. While AI offers significant benefits across sectors such as healthcare, finance, and education, it also raises concerns about data privacy, ethics, and job displacement. In public health, AI can improve disease management and resource allocation, though challenges related to health disparities and data security persist. DISCUSSION: The integration of AI presents substantial opportunities but requires careful management of ethical and practical challenges. Maintaining a balance between leveraging AI and preserving human cognitive functions is crucial. Developing a prototype model to address current global public health challenges, based on the perspectives presented and the considerations discussed, could provide valuable additional insights into effective strategies for managing these complex issues worldwide. CONCLUSION: The future of AI involves integrating technological advancements with human intelligence to enhance capabilities while addressing ethical and practical issues. This balance will be key to advancing public health and other sectors effectively.

The differentiation between natural intelligence and artificial intelligence represents a significant concern among intellectuals. Artificial intelligence developers, leveraging advancements in neuroscience, cognitive sciences, and advanced theories in the philosophy of mind, aim to replicate the structure and functionality of the human brain through a functionalist and behaviourist lens. Broadly speaking, artificial intelligence can be categorized into two renowned types:Classical Artificial Intelligence or the “Computational Theory of Mind”: This perspective emphasizes the computational and algorithmic side of artificial intelligence and advocates for the mechanization and computerization of the mind.Connectionist Artificial Intelligence: This viewpoint focuses on recreating the “neural networks” of the brain. Additionally, the human soul, as the source of human intelligence, possesses cognitive and motivational powers that act as the soldiers of the soul, generating a variety of actions and effects. This research attempts to re-evaluate the fundamental differences between natural intelligence and artificial intelligence from Ibn Sina's perspective using a rational-analytical approach. According to Ibn Sina, natural intelligence and artificial intelligence differ in eight key areas: composite synthesis, intentionality, creativity and inventiveness, specialization focus, self-awareness and self-discovery, the internal evolution of natural intelligence, the impulsive power of desire, ethical conduct, and the ability to recall.

We aimed to investigate current expectations and clinical adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) software among neuroradiologists in Korea. In April 2022, a 30-item online survey was conducted by neuroradiologists from the Korean Society of Neuroradiology (KSNR) to assess current user experiences, perceptions, attitudes, and future expectations regarding AI for neuro-applications. Respondents with experience in AI software were further investigated in terms of the number and type of software used, period of use, clinical usefulness, and future scope. Results were compared between respondents with and without experience with AI software through multivariable logistic regression and mediation analyses. The survey was completed by 73 respondents, accounting for 21.9% (73/334) of the KSNR members; 72.6% (53/73) were familiar with AI and 58.9% (43/73) had used AI software, with approximately 86% (37/43) using 1-3 AI software programs and 51.2% (22/43) having up to one year of experience with AI software. Among AI software types, brain volumetry software was the most common (62.8% [27/43]). Although 52.1% (38/73) assumed that AI is currently useful in practice, 86.3% (63/73) expected it to be useful for clinical practice within 10 years. The main expected benefits were reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks (91.8% [67/73]) and improving reading accuracy and reducing errors (72.6% [53/73]). Those who experienced AI software were more familiar with AI (adjusted odds ratio, 7.1 [95% confidence interval, 1.81-27.81]; P = 0.005). More than half of the respondents with AI software experience (55.8% [24/43]) agreed that AI should be included in training curriculums, while almost all (95.3% [41/43]) believed that radiologists should coordinate to improve its performance. A majority of respondents experienced AI software and showed a proactive attitude toward adopting AI in clinical practice, suggesting that AI should be incorporated into training and active participation in AI development should be encouraged.

The main problem when comparing artificial intelligence with natural intelligence is reduced to creativity, to the creation (discovery) of new knowledge. What is new is something that was not previously known to the subject, but becomes known at some point. There are several levels of novelty – from sensation to scientific discovery and even a new worldview. A new thought form may arise in the process of solving a problem. A person discovers a new form in the process of intuitive insight. 2 types of explanation of intuition are introduced – combinatorial and noospheric. The fundamentally important role of chaos in the discovery of new forms is substantiated. A fundamental boundary between natural and modern artificial intelligence is introduced. The ways of overcoming the border are shown.

To evaluate the performance of a commercial artificial intelligence (AI) software in detecting intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in emergency settings, compared to on-call radiology residents. All consecutive unenhanced cerebral CT-scans performed in a single center over a 3-month period in the emergency department in patients with suspected ICH, initially interpreted by radiology residents on-call and subsequently verified and approved by a board-certified radiologist, were concomitantly analyzed by an AI software for the presence of ICH. Results from the AI software were stored in a separate PACS partition and were unavailable to the radiologists for the case reading. We assessed the diagnostic performance of the AI software and of the radiology residents in detecting ICH. The reference standard was the final report of the board-certified radiologist. Radiology reports of 2153 CT-scans were analyzed, and ICH prevalence was 15.4% (331/2153). The AI software achieved an overall sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of 94.4%, and radiology residents achieved a sensitivity of 96.4% and a specificity of 99.6%, respectively (p-values < 0.001). The sensitivity was 97.7% for AI and 98.5% for residents when CT examinations displayed an association of multiple hemorrhagic types (p = 1). The sensitivity was 95.2% for AI and 98.4% for radiology residents in the presence of multiple ICH sites (p = 0.11). Radiology residents demonstrated a significantly higher performance in detecting ICH compared to the AI software. AI exhibited very good diagnostic performance only in the presence of multiple hemorrhagic sites or multiple hemorrhage types. QuestionHow does the performance of the AI software compare to that of radiology residents in detecting ICH on unenhanced CT in real-life emergency workflow conditions? FindingsIn the emergency setting, the AI software demonstrated lower overall sensitivity and specificity than radiology residents for detecting ICH. Clinical relevanceIn real-life emergency conditions at a university hospital, the AI software did not offer a superior performance compared to radiology residents in detecting ICH. The integration of AI in this specific setting remains to be defined.

This dialogue is from an early scene in the 2014 film Ex Machina, in which Nathan has invited Caleb to determine whether Nathan has succeeded in creating artificial intelligence.1 The achievement of powerful artificial general intelligence has long held a grip on our imagination not only for its exciting as well as worrisome possibilities, but also for its suggestion of a new, uncharted era for humanity. In opening his 2021 BBC Reith Lectures, titled "Living with Artificial Intelligence," Stuart Russell states that "the eventual emergence of general-purpose artificial intelligence [will be] the biggest event in human history."2Over the last decade, a rapid succession of impressive results has brought wider public attention to the possibilities of powerful artificial intelligence. In machine vision, researchers demonstrated systems that could recognize objects as well as, if not better than, humans in some situations. Then came the games. Complex games of strategy have long been associated with superior intelligence, and so when AI systems beat the best human players at chess, Atari games, Go, shogi, StarCraft, and Dota, the world took notice. It was not just that Als beat humans (although that was astounding when it first happened), but the escalating progression of how they did it: initially by learning from expert human play, then from self-play, then by teaching themselves the principles of the games from the ground up, eventually yielding single systems that could learn, play, and win at several structurally different games, hinting at the possibility of generally intelligent systems.3Speech recognition and natural language processing have also seen rapid and headline-grabbing advances. Most impressive has been the emergence recently of large language models capable of generating human-like outputs. Progress in language is of particular significance given the role language has always played in human notions of intelligence, reasoning, and understanding. While the advances mentioned thus far may seem abstract, those in driverless cars and robots have been more tangible given their embodied and often biomorphic forms. Demonstrations of such embodied systems exhibiting increasingly complex and autonomous behaviors in our physical world have captured public attention.Also in the headlines have been results in various branches of science in which AI and its related techniques have been used as tools to advance research from materials and environmental sciences to high energy physics and astronomy.4 A few highlights, such as the spectacular results on the fifty-year-old protein-folding problem by AlphaFold, suggest the possibility that AI could soon help tackle science's hardest problems, such as in health and the life sciences.5While the headlines tend to feature results and demonstrations of a future to come, AI and its associated technologies are already here and pervade our daily lives more than many realize. Examples include recommendation systems, search, language translators - now covering more than one hundred languages - facial recognition, speech to text (and back), digital assistants, chatbots for customer service, fraud detection, decision support systems, energy management systems, and tools for scientific research, to name a few. In all these examples and others, AI-related techniques have become components of other software and hardware systems as methods for learning from and incorporating messy real-world inputs into inferences, predictions, and, in some cases, actions. As director of the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford, Nick Bostrom noted back in 2006, "A lot of cutting-edge AI has filtered into general applications, often without being called AI because once something becomes useful enough and common enough it's not labeled AI anymore."6As the scope, use, and usefulness of these systems have grown for individual users, researchers in various fields, companies and other types of organizations, and governments, so too have concerns when the systems have not worked well (such as bias in facial recognition systems), or have been misused (as in deepfakes), or have resulted in harms to some (in predicting crime, for example), or have been associated with accidents (such as fatalities from self-driving cars).7Dædalus last devoted a volume to the topic of artificial intelligence in 1988, with contributions from several of the founders of the field, among others. Much of that issue was concerned with questions of whether research in AI was making progress, of whether AI was at a turning point, and of its foundations, mathematical, technical, and philosophical-with much disagreement. However, in that volume there was also a recognition, or perhaps a rediscovery, of an alternative path toward AI - the connectionist learning approach and the notion of neural nets-and a burgeoning optimism for this approach's potential. Since the 1960s, the learning approach had been relegated to the fringes in favor of the symbolic formalism for representing the world, our knowledge of it, and how machines can reason about it. Yet no essay captured some of the mood at the time better than Hilary Putnam's "Much Ado About Not Very Much." Putnam questioned the Dædalus issue itself: "Why a whole issue of Dædalus? Why don't we wait until AI achieves something and then have an issue?" He concluded:This volume of Dædalus is indeed the first since 1988 to be devoted to artificial intelligence. This volume does not rehash the same debates; much else has happened since, mostly as a result of the success of the machine learning approach that was being rediscovered and reimagined, as discussed in the 1988 volume. This issue aims to capture where we are in AI's development and how its growing uses impact society. The themes and concerns herein are colored by my own involvement with AI. Besides the television, films, and books that I grew up with, my interest in AI began in earnest in 1989 when, as an undergraduate at the University of Zimbabwe, I undertook a research project to model and train a neural network.9 I went on to do research on AI and robotics at Oxford. Over the years, I have been involved with researchers in academia and labs developing AI systems, studying AI's impact on the economy, tracking AI's progress, and working with others in business, policy, and labor grappling with its opportunities and challenges for society.10The authors of the twenty-five essays in this volume range from AI scientists and technologists at the frontier of many of AI's developments to social scientists at the forefront of analyzing AI's impacts on society. The volume is organized into ten sections. Half of the sections are focused on AI's development, the other half on its intersections with various aspects of society. In addition to the diversity in their topics, expertise, and vantage points, the authors bring a range of views on the possibilities, benefits, and concerns for society. I am grateful to the authors for accepting my invitation to write these essays.Before proceeding further, it may be useful to say what we mean by artificial intelligence. The headlines and increasing pervasiveness of AI and its associated technologies have led to some conflation and confusion about what exactly counts as AI. This has not been helped by the current trend-among researchers in science and the humanities, startups, established companies, and even governments-to associate anything involving not only machine learning, but data science, algorithms, robots, and automation of all sorts with AI. This could simply reflect the hype now associated with AI, but it could also be an acknowledgment of the success of the current wave of AI and its related techniques and their wide-ranging use and usefulness. I think both are true; but it has not always been like this. In the period now referred to as the AI winter, during which progress in AI did not live up to expectations, there was a reticence to associate most of what we now call AI with AI.Two types of definitions are typically given for AI. The first are those that suggest that it is the ability to artificially do what intelligent beings, usually human, can do. For example, artificial intelligence is:The human abilities invoked in such definitions include visual perception, speech recognition, the capacity to reason, solve problems, discover meaning, generalize, and learn from experience. Definitions of this type are considered by some to be limiting in their human-centricity as to what counts as intelligence and in the benchmarks for success they set for the development of AI (more on this later). The second type of definitions try to be free of human-centricity and define an intelligent agent or system, whatever its origin, makeup, or method, as:This type of definition also suggests the pursuit of goals, which could be given to the system, self-generated, or learned.13 That both types of definitions are employed throughout this volume yields insights of its own.These definitional distinctions notwithstanding, the term AI, much to the chagrin of some in the field, has come to be what cognitive and computer scientist Marvin Minsky called a "suitcase word."14 It is packed variously, depending on who you ask, with approaches for achieving intelligence, including those based on logic, probability, information and control theory, neural networks, and various other learning, inference, and planning methods, as well as their instantiations in software, hardware, and, in the case of embodied intelligence, systems that can perceive, move, and manipulate objects.Three questions cut through the discussions in this volume: 1) Where are we in AI's development? 2) What opportunities and challenges does AI pose for society? 3) How much about AI is really about us?Notions of intelligent machines date all the way back to antiquity.15 Philosophers, too, among them Hobbes, Leibnitz, and Descartes, have been dreaming about AI for a long time; Daniel Dennett suggests that Descartes may have even anticipated the Turing Test.16 The idea of computation-based machine intelligence traces to Alan Turing's invention of the universal Turing machine in the 1930s, and to the ideas of several of his contemporaries in the mid-twentieth century. But the birth of artificial intelligence as we know it and the use of the term is generally attributed to the now famed Dartmouth summer workshop of 1956. The workshop was the result of a proposal for a two-month summer project by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon whereby "An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves."17In their respective contributions to this volume, "From So Simple a Beginning: Species of Artificial Intelligence" and "If We Succeed," and in different but complementary ways, Nigel Shadbolt and Stuart Russell chart the key ideas and developments in AI, its periods of excitement as well as the aforementioned AI winters. The current AI spring has been underway since the 1990s, with headline-grabbing breakthroughs appearing in rapid succession over the last ten years or so: a period that Jeffrey Dean describes in the title of his essay as a "golden decade," not only for the pace of AI development but also its use in a wide range of sectors of society, as well as areas of scientific research.18 This period is best characterized by the approach to achieve artificial intelligence through learning from experience, and by the success of neural networks, deep learning, and reinforcement learning, together with methods from probability theory, as ways for machines to learn.19A brief history may be useful here: In the 1950s, there were two dominant visions of how to achieve machine intelligence. One vision was to use computers to create a logic and symbolic representation of the world and our knowledge of it and, from there, create systems that could reason about the world, thus exhibiting intelligence akin to the mind. This vision was most espoused by Allen Newell and Hebert Simon, along with Marvin Minsky and others. Closely associated with it was the "heuristic search" approach that supposed intelligence was essentially a problem of exploring a space of possibilities for answers. The second vision was inspired by the brain, rather than the mind, and sought to achieve intelligence by learning. In what became known as the connectionist approach, units called perceptrons were connected in ways inspired by the connection of neurons in the brain. At the time, this approach was most associated with Frank Rosenblatt. While there was initial excitement about both visions, the first came to dominate, and did so for decades, with some successes, including so-called expert systems.Not only did this approach benefit from championing by its advocates and plentiful funding, it came with the suggested weight of a long intellectual tradition-exemplified by Descartes, Boole, Frege, Russell, and Church, among others-that sought to manipulate symbols and to formalize and axiomatize knowledge and reasoning. It was only in the late 1980s that interest began to grow again in the second vision, largely through the work of David Rumelhart, Geoffrey Hinton, James McClelland, and others. The history of these two visions and the associated philosophical ideas are discussed in Hubert Dreyfus and Stuart Dreyfus's 1988 Dædalus essay "Making a Mind Versus Modeling the Brain: Artificial Intelligence Back at a Branchpoint."20 Since then, the approach to intelligence based on learning, the use of statistical methods, back-propagation, and training (supervised and unsupervised) has come to characterize the current dominant approach.Kevin Scott, in his essay "I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means: Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Work & Scale," reminds us of the work of Ray Solomonoff and others linking information and probability theory with the idea of machines that can not only learn, but compress and potentially generalize what they learn, and the emerging realization of this in the systems now being built and those to come. The success of the machine learning approach has benefited from the boon in the availability of data to train the algorithms thanks to the growth in the use of the Internet and other applications and services. In research, the data explosion has been the result of new scientific instruments and observation platforms and data-generating breakthroughs, for example, in astronomy and in genomics. Equally important has been the co-evolution of the software and hardware used, especially chip architectures better suited to the parallel computations involved in data- and compute-intensive neural networks and other machine learning approaches, as Dean discusses.Several authors delve into progress in key subfields of AI.21 In their essay, "Searching for Computer Vision North Stars," Fei-Fei Li and Ranjay Krishna chart developments in machine vision and the creation of standard data sets such as ImageNet that could be used for benchmarking performance. In their respective essays "Human Language Understanding & Reasoning" and "The Curious Case of Commonsense Intelligence," Chris Manning and Yejin Choi discuss different eras and ideas in natural language processing, including the recent emergence of large language models comprising hundreds of billions of parameters and that use transformer architectures and self-supervised learning on vast amounts of data.22 The resulting pretrained models are impressive in their capacity to take natural language prompts for which they have not been trained specifically and generate human-like outputs, not only in natural language, but also images, software code, and more, as Mira Murati discusses and illustrates in "Language & Coding Creativity." Some have started to refer to these large language models as foundational models in that once they are trained, they are adaptable to a wide range of tasks and outputs.23 But despite their unexpected performance, these large language models are still early in their development and have many shortcomings and limitations that are highlighted in this volume and elsewhere, including by some of their developers.24In "The Machines from Our Future," Daniela Rus discusses the progress in robotic systems, including advances in the underlying technologies, as well as in their integrated design that enables them to operate in the physical world. She highlights the limitations in the "industrial" approaches used thus far and suggests new ways of conceptualizing robots that draw on insights from biological systems. In robotics, as in AI more generally, there has always been a tension as to whether to copy or simply draw inspiration from how humans and other biological organisms achieve intelligent behavior. Elsewhere, AI researcher Demis Hassabis and colleagues have explored how neuroscience and AI learn from and inspire each other, although so far more in one than the other, as and have the success of the current approaches to AI, there are still many shortcomings and as well as problems in It is useful to on one such as when AI does not as or or or that can to or when it on or information about the world, or when it has such as of all of which can to a of public shortcomings have captured the attention of the wider public and as well as among there is an on AI and In recent years, there has been a of to principles and approaches to AI, as well as involving and such as the on AI, that to best important has been the of with to and - in the and developing AI in both and as has been well in recent This is an important in its own but also with to the of the resulting AI and, in its intersections with more the other there are limitations and problems associated with the that AI is not capable of if could to more more or more general AI.

By importing some natural abilities from human thinking into the design of computerized decision support systems, a cross-cutting trend of intelligent systems has emerged, namely, the synergetic integration between natural and artificial intelligence. While natural intelligence provides creative, parallel, and holistic thinking, its artificial counterpart is logical, accurate, able to perform complex and extensive calculations, and tireless. In the light of such integration, two concepts are important: controllability and interpretability. The former is defined as the ability of computerized systems to receive feedback and follow users’ instructions, while the latter refers to human-machine communication. A suitable alternative to simultaneously involve these two concepts—and then bridging the gap between natural and artificial intelligence—is bringing together the fields of dimensionality reduction (DimRed) and information visualization (InfoVis).

BackgroundTo demonstrate the value of an artificial intelligence (AI) software in the detection of mammographically occult breast cancers and to determine the clinicopathologic patterns of the cancers additionally detected using the AI software.MethodsBy retrospectively reviewing our institutional database (January 2017–September 2019), we identified women with mammographically occult breast cancers and analyzed their mammography with an AI software that provided a malignancy score (range 0–100; > 10 considered as positive). The hot spots in the AI report were compared with the US and MRI findings to determine if the cancers were correctly marked by the AI software. The clinicopathologic characteristics of the AI-detected cancers were analyzed and compared with those of undetected cancers.ResultsAmong the 1890 breast cancers, 6.8% (128/1890) were mammographically occult, among which 38.3% (49/128) had positive results in the AI analysis. Of them, 81.6% (40/49) were correctly marked by the AI software and determined as “AI-detected cancers.” As such, 31.3% (40/128) of mammographically occult breast cancers could be identified by the AI software. Of the AI-detected cancers, 97.5% were found in heterogeneously or extremely dense breasts, 52.5% were asymptomatic, 86.5% were invasive, and 29.7% had axillary lymph node metastasis. Compared with undetected cancers, the AI-detected cancers were more likely to be found in younger patients (p < 0.001), undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy as well as mastectomy rather than breast-conserving operation (both p < 0.001), and accompany axillary lymph node metastasis (p = 0.003).ConclusionsAI conferred an added value in the detection of mammographically occult breast cancers.

BackgroundAutomatic segmentation of 3D objects in computed tomography (CT) is challenging. Current methods, based mainly on artificial intelligence (AI) and end‐to‐end deep learning (DL) networks, are weak in garnering high‐level anatomic information, which leads to compromised efficiency and robustness. This can be overcome by incorporating natural intelligence (NI) into AI methods via computational models of human anatomic knowledge.PurposeWe formulate a hybrid intelligence (HI) approach that integrates the complementary strengths of NI and AI for organ segmentation in CT images and illustrate performance in the application of radiation therapy (RT) planning via multisite clinical evaluation.MethodsThe system employs five modules: (i) body region recognition, which automatically trims a given image to a precisely defined target body region; (ii) NI‐based automatic anatomy recognition object recognition (AAR‐R), which performs object recognition in the trimmed image without DL and outputs a localized fuzzy model for each object; (iii) DL‐based recognition (DL‐R), which refines the coarse recognition results of AAR‐R and outputs a stack of 2D bounding boxes (BBs) for each object; (iv) model morphing (MM), which deforms the AAR‐R fuzzy model of each object guided by the BBs output by DL‐R; and (v) DL‐based delineation (DL‐D), which employs the object containment information provided by MM to delineate each object. NI from (ii), AI from (i), (iii), and (v), and their combination from (iv) facilitate the HI system.ResultsThe HI system was tested on 26 organs in neck and thorax body regions on CT images obtained prospectively from 464 patients in a study involving four RT centers. Data sets from one separate independent institution involving 125 patients were employed in training/model building for each of the two body regions, whereas 104 and 110 data sets from the 4 RT centers were utilized for testing on neck and thorax, respectively. In the testing data sets, 83% of the images had limitations such as streak artifacts, poor contrast, shape distortion, pathology, or implants. The contours output by the HI system were compared to contours drawn in clinical practice at the four RT centers by utilizing an independently established ground‐truth set of contours as reference. Three sets of measures were employed: accuracy via Dice coefficient (DC) and Hausdorff boundary distance (HD), subjective clinical acceptability via a blinded reader study, and efficiency by measuring human time saved in contouring by the HI system. Overall, the HI system achieved a mean DC of 0.78 and 0.87 and a mean HD of 2.22 and 4.53 mm for neck and thorax, respectively. It significantly outperformed clinical contouring in accuracy and saved overall 70% of human time over clinical contouring time, whereas acceptability scores varied significantly from site to site for both auto‐contours and clinically drawn contours.ConclusionsThe HI system is observed to behave like an expert human in robustness in the contouring task but vastly more efficiently. It seems to use NI help where image information alone will not suffice to decide, first for the correct localization of the object and then for the precise delineation of the boundary.

The article discusses the results of research on natural and artificial intelligence in the virtual and real worlds. Modern man functions in the real world using natural intelligence, but increasingly the virtual world, in which artificial intelligence dominates, is also entering his life. The aim of this research was to define the natural intelligence of humans in the context of the intelligence of the terrestrial reality and human society, and to seek an answer to the question of the role of artificial intelligence in everyday life. The real world and the virtual world intermingle, so it is man's task to control artificial intelligence so that it plays a servant role in his life and in the development of human society.

This study investigates the integration of natural intelligence (NI) and artificial intelligence (AI) within traditional firms linked through a multilayer network framework. The research explores this central question: How can the integration of NI and AI, facilitated by copula nodes, drive economic value creation in digitized firms? The paper combines theoretical and empirical results of the observed increments in cost-benefit marginality linked with AI adoption by checking out testing in various domains such as manufacturing, retailing, finance, etc. The performance of the model shows enhanced efficiency and decision-making, as well as savings in costs. Copula nodes that connect multilayer networks blend NI with AI, boosting overall value. Unlike existing studies, this framework operationalizes copula nodes to capture real-time dependencies between human-driven and AI-driven processes, offering a comprehensive view of economic value creation across digitized firms. A methodology section outlines the empirical validation process conducted across multiple industries (manufacturing, retail, and finance), providing key insights into efficiency, decision-making, and cost optimization. The practical implications offer a strategic pathway for firms to enhance profitability and competitiveness in the digital age. The results underscore the importance of strategically integrating AI with human intelligence to maximize economic outcomes.
