Scientists are showing that neuromorphic computers, designed to mimic the human brain, are not only useful for AI, but also for complex computational problems that normally run on supercomputers. This is reported by The Register. Neuromorphic computing differs fundamentally from the classic von Neumann architecture. Instead of a strict separation between memory and processing, these functions are closely intertwined. This limits data transport, a major source of energy consumption in modern computers. The human brain illustrates how efficient such an approach can be.

Interview Naveen Rao founded AI businesses and sold them to Intel and Databricks. He's now turned his attention to satisfying AI's thirst for power and believes his new company, Unconventional AI, can do it by building chips inspired by nature. On Monday, Rao revealed Unconventional AI raised $475 million in seed funding from Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed, Jeff Bezos, and others, to answer the question.
