What could this mean for the future of artificial intelligence?

Worms seem to many vile and primitive creatures who just do that crawl from side to side without any sense. However, this behavior is exactly what scientists want to achieve by creating a digital brain.

Scientists plan to create digital copies of the brain and more complex creatures, but you need to start somewhere. Recently, the researchers for the first time managed to create a digital copy of the brain of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans and place it in the chip that controls the robot. 

Surprisingly, after the launch, the robot began to move independently without any control, and its behavior was similar to the behavior of the worm. Surprisingly, after the launch, the robot began to move independently without any control, and its behavior was similar to the behavior of the worm.
