At the same time chinese researchers say, that modern AI models are already capable of recognizing and sorting different categories of information like humans. According to scientists fromAccording to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the South China University of Technology in Guangzhou, some AI models copy key functions of the human brain when performing information sorting tasks.
