Abstract
The field of Artificial Intelligence faces unprecedented progress. It is expected that the use of Artificial Intelligence to different sectors of science and economy will be increased. This is also shown by the fact that at the moment, Artificial Intelligence is characterised by popularity which is proven through the constant presentations on the news. This chapter shows how the study of the brain's hippocampus can further progress the field of Artificial Intelligence. The chapter presents indicative examples of the literature that show how the study of the hippocampus can lead to the development of specific applications. It also shows the impact to the development of biologically-inspired systems through the analysis of specific capabilities of the hippocampus. A number of conclusions are drawn in relation to the significance of the study of the brain's hippocampus for the development of new applications.
