Neuromorphic AI

Overview:

While digital computers determined the state of the art for decades, a trend reversal towards architectures beyond the von Neumann architecture is emerging in the field of computer technology. The focus is particularly on neuromorphic computers that realize physical "neurons" and "synapses" in hardware. Philosophy is only now beginning to explore the implications of such hardware structures. At the center of the discussion are considerations of the relationship between neural and neuromorphic computation, as well as their influence on cognition and neuroscience.
