"...Artificial neural networks (ANNs) or connectionist systems are computing systems vaguely inspired by the biological neural networks that constitute animal brains.[1] Such systems "learn" (i.e. progressively improve performance on) tasks by considering examples, generally without task-specific programming. For example, in image recognition, they might learn to identify images that contain cats by analyzing example images that have been manually labeled as "cat" or "no cat" and using the results to identify cats in other images. They do this without any a priori knowledge about cats, e.g., that they have fur, tails, whiskers and cat-like faces. Instead, they evolve their own set of relevant characteristics from the learning material that they process.
An ANN is based on a collection of connected units or nodes called artificial neurons (a simplified version of biological neurons in an animal brain). ..."

Looks like it is a developed technology with applications. Non algorithmic computing, which by inference is how our brains function.
We learn, modify, and optimize by repeated trial and error. Human creativity can not be reduced to an algorithm, IOW a Turing Machine.
Goedel thought a human mind analog could possibly be taught as we are from childhood.
