An artificial intelligence that mimics the operation of a standard computer within its neural network could speed up certain calculations. Researchers have used it to put an AI inside an AI and play Pong.

If you want a computer to do something, you have to write code that manipulates bits of data. But if you code an AI-driven neural network, you have to train it with feedback before it can do anything. For instance, a neural network can distinguish between photos of cats and …
