From Microchips to Supercomputers


Clint Finley, writing for Wired, reports Google has built an artificial brain, using graphics microprocessors—chips that process images and videos.
It’s a breakthrough that simplifies the development of  supercomputers. And:
It just might be the initial small step that will eventually make humanoid robots far smarter than humans—robots that contain all the information and images of all the other computers on the planet.
And that reminds me: Google has hired the inventor and master futurist Ray Kurzweil as director of engineering. He’s probably the scientist who will create the smarty-pants robots.
