Lecture

Biologically Inspired Computation

Description

This lecture delves into the history of biologically inspired massively parallel computation, starting with Alan Turing's seminal work on computing machinery and intelligence. The speaker discusses the challenges in building general-purpose artificial intelligence, the evolution of computing hardware, and the energy efficiency of computers compared to the human brain. The lecture also explores the Spinnaker project, a neuromorphic computing system aimed at understanding brain function and building intelligent machines. The speaker highlights the communication and storage mechanisms in the brain, the principles behind the Spinnaker project, and the future goals of building a million-core machine.
