Abstract
Across evolution and, in particular, in brain evolutionary development we can observe how diverse adaptive biological mechanisms are displayed as a solution to environmental demands. In this talk, I will discuss some examples of emerging evolutionary developmental strategies allowing to increase brain computational capacities and how neurodevelopmental conservation, divergence, and convergence would inspire AI systems optimization.
