A Computer Predicted The World Will End In 2040 – Will It Happen?
“When the terrifying results of the World One program (commissioned by the Club of Rome) were made public, did we listen? In this video, Unveiled takes a closer look at how a computer predicted the end of the world by the year 2040… and at how, so far, human civilisation has matched everything it said would happen! What do you … Continue reading
New Material Could Create ‘Neurons’ and ‘Synapses’ for Computers
via University of Groningen Classic computers use binary values (0/1) to perform. By contrast, our brain cells can use more values to operate, making them more energy-efficient than computers. This is why scientists are interested in neuromorphic (brain-like) computing. Physicists from the University of Groningen have used a complex oxide to create elements comparable to the neurons and synapses in … Continue reading
Humans Could Be ‘Superseded’ by Supercomputers, Stephen Hawking Warns
Stephen Hawking has warned that humans face being superseded by computers if the race to develop artificial intelligence continues apace. The renowned physicist and cosmologist issued the stark message at the Global Mobile Internet Conference in Beijing. Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. An inspiring presentation at @theGMIC in Beijing. pic.twitter.com/rv73jMAjOw — MUNDOmedia (@MUNDOMedia) April 28, 2017 Speaking … Continue reading
LIVING ROBOT with ‘HUMAN BRAIN’ Close to Creation as Super AI Computer around the Corner
COMPUTER scientists attempting to electronically replicate the human brain are close to creating a ‘living PC’. Engineers at the University of Massachusetts are developing microprocessors which mimic biological synapses – the nerve cells which pass messages across the human body. The science fiction-style project is being undertaken by Joshua Yang and Qiangfei Xia, professors of electrical and computer engineering at … Continue reading
Brain-Like Computer Chip Developed by Chinese Scientists
HANGZHOU, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) — The human brain is the world’s most sophisticated computer, but a group of Chinese scientists have developed a computer chip that works much like the brain. Jointly developed by scientists from Hangzhou Dianzi University and Zhejiang University in east China’s Zhejiang Province, the new chip, named “Darwin,” was revealed earlier this week after more than … Continue reading
