IBM has created a computer chip capable of functioning like a human brain. A very quick and highly intelligent human brain.
Several technological advancements are already in place that tune in with human habits so well that they can predict behavior based on past behavior (e.g Google searches). That seemed impressive enough...
But this chip promises more.By exploring "cognitive computing” IBM’s chips will help computers absorb information and learn like humans. This means computers could be enhanced with abilities to adapt to new and unexpected information.
The will also be able to process massive amounts of information and take in "real-world signals" such as sound and motion. Essentially, IBM's chip has the makings of cognitive powers, meaning it's another step closer to functioning like a human brain.
