Computers that learn from experience and adapt to a novel situation are now set to change the face of Artificial Intelligence. The commercial version of a new kind of 'neuromorphic processor' that learns from its own mistake is about to enter the markets in 2014, according to New York Times. The new technology could do away with hours of programming and even make 'computer crashes' obsolete, tolerating minor errors. The new kind of computing is based on biological systems. These new artificial neural networks could advance facial recognition that is currently in its infancy stage. The brain doesn't crash if it finds a novel idea. It forms new neural connections and interprets the signals as best as it can. The new computer chip works similarly and according to NYT, these chips are already in use in few large tech companies. "We're moving from engineering computing systems to something that has many of the characteristics of biological computing,...
