(JW Insights) Jul 10 -- The Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute (TCCI 陈天桥雒芊芊脑科学研究院), a non-profit organization founded by Chen Tianqiao, chairman of global investment firm Shanda Group, and his wife Chrissy Luo, plans to invest RMB1 billion ($$138 million) to support the use of artificial intelligence in brain science research, Yicai Global reported on July 7.
The TCCI will set up an AI brain science laboratory, MindX, with startup capital of $$100 million, Gerwin Schalk, director of the Chen Frontier Lab for Applied Neurotechnology, said at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai on July 6.
The institute will also establish frontier labs for specific application scenarios, including ‘AI + sleep’ and ‘AI + anti-aging,’ with startup capital of RMB50 million ($$6.9 million) each, he added.
MindX will recruit two specialist directors in neuroscience and AI to lead the development of AI through deep research on aspects of the human brain, including learning, memory, cognition, and emotion, and use AI to unravel the brain’s mysteries.
More investment for the labs will be forthcoming in the future, Yicai Global learned from the TCCI.
Founded in 2016, California-based TCCI funds brain science research projects, including mental health, sleep, and neurodegenerative diseases. In the same year, Chen announceda$$1 billion donation to the California Institute of Technology for brain science research.
The TCCI has also joined the generative AI push, announcingin March that it would recruit AI talent from around the world, especially algorithm engineers with experience in large language models and natural language processing.
NeuroXess, a brain-computer interface research and development firm founded by the TCCI, shared some initial findings at the WAIC, which ended on July 8. The Shanghai-based startup has successfully implanted brain-computer interfaces in a two-year-old Labrador retriever and a seven-year-old rhesus monkey, said the Yicai Global report.
