At a high level, I think the top level advantages potentially are in power saving and flexibility when working on machine learning problems. The brain is very power efficient compared to modern computers. Incorporating more “organic” structured can lead to much greater power efficiency. As more is learned about efficient neural network models, implementing them in hardware will lead to much faster and cheaper learning models.
