“HP said it’s already created new architectures for chips using memristors and believes that devices using the new circuit could hit the market within the next few years.”
Keep your eyes on this one. I believe this scientist has found the missing link of true artificial intelligence. This could be as big as genomics.
Snider’s dream is of a field he calls "cortical computing" that harnesses the possibilities of memristors to mimic how the brain’s neurons interact. It’s an entirely new idea. "People confuse these kinds of networks with neural networks," says Williams. But neural networks – the previous best hope for creating an artificial brain – are software working on standard computing hardware. "What we’re aiming for is actually a change in architecture," he says.
