Computers based on neuromorphic design are the best bet for intelligent Machines. The question is, how to control analog computations with a programming langua

  > Computers based on neuromorphic design are the best bet for intelligent Machines. I wouldn't go that far. We don't understand enough about the nature of intelligence and the way brain works; right now saying that "the best bet for AI is for computer to look like a brain" is like saying "the best bet for heavier-than-air flight is for a machine to flap wings like birds", which was a stupid idea for the reasons we now understand well.

    Neuromorphic computers do not look like a brain. They just borrow some of it's so called 'features'. I am not saying that we should copy the brain. But at least we could copy the design, just like we did for aeroplanes. Neuromorphic sensors could act like our cerebellum, which act during unforeseen incidents. They are typically error tolerating.

      In that case, we should probably move to a noisier (/faster/cheaper) floating point processor.

        I wonder if you could make it completely analog. Find functions that can be done fast/cheaply in silicon, and then design learning algorithms that can take advantage of them.
