How AI Will Think: What Is Neuromorphic Computing?

This video was uploaded to the YouTube channel Singularity Prosperity in June 2018.

This video is the eleventh in a multi-part series discussing computing. In this video, we’ll be discussing what cognitive computing is and the impact it will have on the field of computing.

[0:28-5:09] Starting off we'll discuss, what cognitive computing is, more specifically – the difference between current computing Von Neuman architecture and more biologically representative neuromorphic architecture and how these two paired together will yield massive performance and efficiency gains!

[5:09-10:46] Following that we’ll discuss, the benefits of cognitive computing systems further as well as current cognitive computing initiatives, TrueNorth and Loihi.

[10:46-17:11] To conclude we’ll extrapolate and discuss the future of cognitive computing in terms of brain simulation, artificial intelligence and brain-computer interfaces!

The Singularity Prosperity is a YouTube channel for those who want to know more about the innovations being made across the world, understand the impact certain technologies will have on society, utilise technology as a tool to better their lives and work together towards building a post-scarcity society.

The world has been changing at an accelerating rate since the industrial revolution, and this rate of change is only bound to increase as various technologies begin to converge with their own respective exponential trends. These technologies include quantum computing, virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
