MIT researchers say new chip design takes us closer to computers that work like our brains

Advances in machine learning have moved at a gallop in recent years, but the computer processors these programs run on have barely changed. To remedy this, companies have been re-tuning existing chip architecture to fit the demands of AI, but on the cutting edge of research, an entirely new approach is taking shape: remaking processors so they work more like our brains.
This is called “neuromorphic computing,” and scientists from MIT this week said they’ve made significant pro
