Henry Markram and AI with Digital Brains

Caption

At the 2025 World Economic Forum, Henry Markram presented a five-step recipe for building digital brains: populate them with neurons, grow dendrites, grow axons, form synapses, and model the electrochemical behavior of each neuronal and synaptic type—then “switch on” these networks to iteratively refine their biological fidelity. He further explained how teaching these digital brains can revolutionize AI by mirroring the brain’s own adaptive capabilities, opening the door to a future where generalizable AI arises from genuine causal understanding rather than mere correlation-based methods.
