A Nigerian [engineer / engineering] and neuroscientist has created a revolutionary new computer that has [artificially / artificial] intelligence (AI). Dr Oshi Agabi has spent many years [tried / trying] to make a computer that can smell. He launched his start-up project last year and called it Koniku. He has [rise / raised] over $1 million in [funding / finding] . Dr Agabi said his project is already making [profitable / profits] of $10 million.

They use electricity and chemical signals to process and send information. Using neurons in computers is [calling / called] biotechnology. Agabi said biotechnology can make [devices / device] that can smell. He said: "Biology is technology. Bio is tech. Our deep learning networks are [every / all] copying the brain." Agabi added: "We want to build a…system that [was / has] intelligence. We do not want to build a human brain. It's not science [fiction / friction] ."
