IBM will invent a computer to a new genre
IBM with partners and with major American universities decided to build a computer imitating the human brain. Big Blue and researchers from Stanford, Cornell and the University of California, have received 4.9 million dollars from DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), an agency that is part of the Department of Defense.
IBM says that the team hopes to break the “model of the conventional programmable machine.” “Our goal is to create computers deployed literally everywhere, with a new intelligence allowing them to integrate information from a variety of sensors and sources, manage ambiguity, to respond to the context, to learn over time and manage the recognition of structures to solve difficult problems in terms of perception, action and realistic recognition of complex environments “, says in a statement from IBM.
This research should result in the next nine months, according to Big Blue. “We believe that our computer learning initiative will help us shape the future of computing significantly, revealing new technologies we have not even begun to imagine,” said Josephine Cheng, a researcher at IBM.
