Fruit fly brain digital twin plays Doom, classifies spam, trades crypto

Researchers used the complete connectome of an adult fruit fly, published three days prior, to create a digital brain capable of playing video games and classifying spam. The development demonstrates the potential of whole-brain emulation for practical tasks, though the scope and robustness of the implementation remain unclear. This marks a notable step in applying connectomics to functional AI, with implications for neuroscience and computing.
