Brain-Based Circuitry Just Made Artificial Intelligence A Whole Lot Faster
by Dan Robitzski June 12, 2018 Artificial Intelligence
We take the vast computing power of our brains for granted. But scientists are still trying to get computers to the brain’s level.
This is how we ended up with artificial intelligence algorithms that learn through virtual neurons — the neural net.
Now a team of engineers has taken another step closer to emulating the computers in our noggins: they’ve built a physical neural network, with circuits that even more closely resemble neurons. When they tested an AI algorithm on the new type of circuitry, they found that it performed as well as conventional neural nets already in use. But! the new integrated neural net system completed the task with 100 times less energy than a conventional AI algorithm.
