IBM To Develop Cognitive Computer Chips [venturebeat.com]
IBM has been shipping computers for more than 65 years, and it is finally on the verge of creating a true electronic brain.

Big Blue is announcing today that it, along with four universities and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), have created the basic design of an experimental computer chip that emulates the way the brain processes information.

IBM’s so-called cognitive computing chips could one day simulate and emulate the brain’s ability to sense, perceive, interact and recognize — all tasks that humans can currently do much better than computers can.



Fascinating!

Fascinating indeed.

Hopefully it still 'thinks' like a computer at the right moments. Algorithmic dictionary lookups are so much faster than thumbing through a book dictionary nowadays ;o) ...
