Swarm Intelligence - An AI Epiphany of the Ant Colony
As Albert Einstein said “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination”, hence when designing and implementing AI (Artificial Intelligence) Algorithms the captivating world of nature can be of great inspiration and insight in how computer code can simulate and ultimately create an intelligent behaviour. How do ants use pheromones to build colonies, retrieve food and even show recognition to one another and how does that influence the family of Swarm Intelligence Software Algorithms that solve many real world issues.
