A complete digital copy of a fruit fly’s brain has been uploaded to a simulated environment and has been seen exhibiting natural behavior

A Silicon Valley startup has announced what it describes as the first “multi-behavior brain upload” after creating a complete digital replica of a fruit fly’s brain that controls a virtual body in a simulated environment.

The achievement, unveiled last week by Eon Systems, represents a significant leap beyond conventional AI.
