Why does the brain outperform AI? Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are at the core of the AI revolution. In the past years, enormous efforts have been made to unravel their mathematical properties, leading to fundamental insights and mathematical guarantees on when and why deep learning works well. ANNs are inspired by biological neural networks (BNNs) but differ in many respects: ANNs represent functions while BNNs represent stochastic processes, and the gradient-based deep learning applied for ANNs is very different from the local updating of BNNs. BNNs are superior to ANNs in the sense that the brain learns faster and generalizes better. Despite the urgency for answers and the rich and…
