IBM Corp and 100 researchers spent some $41 million in studying and building chips which can process data as human do. Those chips can now be used in PCs and supercomputers so it will be available in the market soon. The prototypes provide importance of parallel processing and crunching of large data. So far the chips are tested by playing pong and steering a simulated car through a maze. It will take at least a decade to incorporate them into the regular gadgets.
Google will fill in your search box based on few keystrokes which is a narrow mimicry what human brain is capable. Computers can learn like human but it is not enough to think like human brain. This research has made a significant step in combining the brain science and computer.
Giulio Tononi, a professor of psychiatry says “It is not important what the chips are doing, but how they are doing it”.
