In the quiet overlap between biology and engineering, researchers have found that the human brain processes spoken language through layered, sequential stages that mirror the transformer architecture underlying modern AI systems. This convergence — arrived at through millions of years of evolution on one side and decades of computational research on the other — suggests that the two radically different substrates may have independently discovered similar solutions to the deep problem of extracting meaning from language. The finding invites both neuroscience and artificial intelligence to look
