I agree that the current Von Neumann architecture is probably not adequate. However, I think there is some active research in this area.
Here are a couple links:
From today actually. Memristors are an exciting development if they can scale production: http://www.technologyreview.com/news/537211/a-better-way-to-build-brain-inspired-chips/ http://www.technologyreview.com/news/537211/a-better-way-to-...
A startup working on this: http://brainchipinc.com/ http://brainchipinc.com/

- 1971genocide 11y agoAll these development are really excellent. The more people who are interested in solving these problems the better. Neural Networks are awesome - but modern AI tells us that there are also various other techniques, The problem with Neural Networks is they are essentially a black box and many mathematicians and engineers are not happy working with black boxes. Right now the models for synapses and Neurons are very simple compared to what actually is happening in them. But regardless the approach is not in vain. (My current research involves autonomous motor control with tactile feedback, which is very far away from AGI)
- bglazer 11y agoCan you tell me more about your research? I became really fascinated with motor control after reading an introductory neuroscience book a while back. I feel like this is not an area that receives as much attention as it should.
