This episode explores neuromorphic computing, a new approach to technology that designs hardware inspired by the human brain.
Unlike conventional computers that separate memory and processing, these systems use spiking neural networks to process information more like biological neurons.
The result is the ability to perform complex tasks—such as sensory recognition and robotics—while using dramatically less energy. We also examine pioneering chips like Intel Loihi and IBM TrueNorth, which aim to push artificial intelligence closer to the efficiency and adaptability of the human nervous system.
