Summary Predictive coding is a leading neuroscience theory of how the brain works. Can it be useful for AI? Current AI systems rely on deep neural networks trained by backpropagation. However, this method has some limitations, such as inefficiency, and a lack of robustness, and is unlikely to work like the brain. An alternative approach …
