A new generation of smartphones and other gadgets could be powered by chips designed to function like your brain.
Incredible new chip works like a human brain
BrainChip recently announced its Akida neural networking processor. The processor uses chips inspired by the spiking nature of the human brain. It is part of a growing effort to commercialize chips based on human neural structures.
The new generation of chips could enable "more in-depth neural network processing capabilities in wearable devices such as smartphones, digital tools, smartwatches, health monitoring, autonomous vehicles and drones in the future," Vishal Saxena, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Delaware, told Lifewire in an email interview.
According to BrainChip, the new boards could usher in a new era of remote AI, also known as edge computing, due to their performance, security and low power requirements.
