Recently Microsoft announced an internal reorganization of their business to put a greater focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/a>. \u00a0It’s not just Microsoft that’s interested in AI. \u00a0Google, Baidu, Amazon, and Facebook <\/a>are all investing significantly in AI technology.<\/p>\n

Graphics Processing Unit (GPUs) <\/a>have helped advance and speed-up implementations of AI and deep learning algorithms. But there are new chips under design<\/a> and in the pipeline that will specialize in processing AI algorithms.<\/p>\n

One approach in designing AI hardware is called neuromorphic computing<\/a>. \u00a0This technology tries to mimic the way the synapses in the human brain work. \u00a0The idea is to create very large numbers of electric circuits on a chip that mimic the neuro-biological interactions in the human nervous system.<\/p>\n

A report by Grand View Research suggests that by 2024 the size of the neuromorphic computing market will reach $6.5 billion dollars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sunil Kukreja<\/a>, Head of Neuromorphic Engineering & Robotics at the National University of Singapore, said that<\/a> “we try to mimic the human brain to understand how it is processing things, such as touch and vision to design artificial neural systems.”<\/p>\n
