Chinese scientists develop a new type of brain chip

The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology has made unprecedented breakthroughs in many fields, but the current mainstream proprietary artificial intelligence in the application of there are still great limitationsTherefore, the artificial universal intelligence that can be empowered in all walks of life is the future direction of development, but it has not yet had an effective solutionat this stage, there are two main ways to develop artificial universal intelligence: one is based on neuroscience, try to simulate the human brain, and the other is computer science-oriented, let the computer run machine learning algorithmsBecause the platforms used by the two systems are different and incompatible, the development of artificial universal intelligence is greatly limited"The convergence of the two is currently considered one of the best solutions for the development of artificial universal intelligence, and the development of a converged computing platform will be key to driving convergence." Shi Luping, author of the paper and a professor at Tsinghua University's Center for Brain Computing Research, saidthis fusion chip is named "Sky Core" and has multiple highly reconfigurable functional cores that can support both machine learning algorithms and brain-like calculation algorithmsTo verify the processing power of the chip, researchers developed a self-driving bicycle powered by the chipIn the experiment, unmanned bicycles can not only recognize voice commands, achieve self-balancing control, but also detect and track pedestrians in front of them, and automatically avoid obstaclesWhile this is only a very preliminary study, it could contribute to the further development of artificial general intelligence research, MrSchluping said.
