  • 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.
