The Good and the Bad
13:26
GOOD
- Efficiency: Neuromorphic chips are much faster than current computers at processing sensory data and learning from it, and consume very little power compared to traditional chips. This can potentially spike productivity levels and increase the efficiency of resource allocation.
- Real time computing: It is modelled after the brain, and functions like it too. If the chips were connected to sensors, it could allow computers to experience the world around them.
- Highly applicable: Highly versatile technology that can be applied across many industries.
BAD
- Too intelligent: This may be good or bad, but this technology moves us closer towards cognitive artificial intelligence. Because the nature of this technology mimics human cognitive activity, some argue that they could potentially overtake human jobs.
- High cost: This technology is extremely expensive to implement, as the costs of removing software and hardware that is currently in use will cost some businesses billions of dollars.
- Resistance: Since this technology could take away many jobs, it could drive resistance from existing employees. It is understandable that some people will definitely be opposed to new software and hardware that is designed to think and feel like them.
