Abstract

Three dissimilar methodologies in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) appear to be following a common path toward biological authenticity. This trend could be expedited by using a common tool, artificial nervous systems (ANS), for recreating the biology underpinning all three. ANS would then represent a new paradigm for AI with application to many related fields.
