Artificial neural networks —algorithms inspired by biological brains—are at the center of modern artificial intelligence, behind both chatbots and image generators. But with their many neurons, they can be black boxes , their inner workings uninterpretable to users. Researchers have now created a fundamentally new way to make neural networks that some ways surpasses traditional systems.
