This video is the eleventh in a multi-part series discussing computing. In this video, we’ll be discussing what cognitive computing is and the impact it will have on the field of computing.
00:00 Intro
[0:28-5:09] What is Cognitive Computing - Starting off we'll discuss, what cognitive computing is, more specifically - the difference between current computing Von Neuman architecture and more biologically representative neuromorphic architecture and how these two paired together will yield massive performance and efficiency gains!
[5:09-10:46] Benefits of Cognitive Computing -Following that we’ll discuss, the benefits of cognitive computing systems further as well as current cognitive computing initiatives, TrueNorth and Loihi.
[10:46-17:11] Future of Cognitive Computing - To conclude we’ll extrapolate and discuss the future of cognitive computing in terms of brain simulation, artificial intelligence and brain-computer interfaces!

[@bhuvaneshs.k638]

I have a question... If we are using Ohms law To perform Dot Product in Crossbar Matrix of Memristor... It means we need DAC and ADC at I/o of This crossbar matrix.... This leads to exponential increase in bit resolution and thus we need bulky ADC. And to solve this problem one way is to use sequentially data in using clock driven input (say 16 bit value to sequentially fed 2 bit at a time).... Then how it is not clock driven but event driven...?

[@eddielockhart7768]

I love how the common motif is always "This is not designed to replace humans..." Yeah right. When the efficiency and cost get to a point that it makes sense from a business standpoint to invest in technology that can replace humans, you can be 100% certain that it will happen. It's a matter of economics.

@@pradhumnkanase8381 A massive paradigm shift is needed to realize that future. Privately owned corporations have these advanced ML systems as assets already, but what happens when future ML systems overlap with traits of general intelligence? The owners of such systems would be less inclined to employ human workers because AI can work for no pay, which drastically increases wealth inequality. How would we prevent this crisis? Do we force the owners of these systems to give up their ownership? How will we restructure the economy to provide for people when work is no longer needed?

[@clochard4074]

Funny, just yesterday I was wondering how could someone replicate the architecture of a neuron. My compliments for your clarity on the subject!

[@DaFinkingOrk]

Frank Thoughts It makes a lot of sense thinking of the dendrites as being a (more complex and reprogrammable/evolving) analog processor, the cell body being a digital-ish processor but also importas the specific part where it joins the axon being a signal integrator and converter into fully-digital format, the axon being a high-speed digital bus/connection to the synaptic boutons which are like digital-to-analog converters. The analog memory is the snapses themselves, so mostly outside the neurons in the gaps where they "connect" - they don't electrically connect because they would have little to no memory then. I've thought ever since I learned the basics of a neuron that this electrical-chemical-electrical conversion at the synapse is obviously very important, because it's inefficient and slows things down a lot from a purely electrical view (seeing the brain as merely wires/networks). Some, but very few, certain neurons do have direct electrical digital connections to certain others, but this is only done when connection speed is *very* important like fast reflex movements, but surely speed is always an advantage so there's gotta be a much greater advantage to trading-off speed for something else. That something else is memory, the slowing down of a signal at a chemical synapse buys time! It stores the signal briefly, in a parallel analog chemical memory, allowing complex processing to be done on the data - like a CPU or GPU does to its RAM (it is still VERY fast, but an order of magnitude slower than both electrical synapses and the clockspeed of microprocessors). There are also two categories of how fast a chemical signal transmits across a synapse - recieved by faster ion channel-based receptors and slower chemical receptors (though a single synapse can perform both). The non-ion-channel receptor systems seem capable of more complex processing and greater adaptation, again giving a reason for trading some more speed for even more memory and types and extent of processing possible. I think a large deficiency in how we model neural networks is in not giving each node/"neuron" much or any memory and processing of its own. And when we do, this memory is still located far from the processing as extensively covered in the brilliant video. A synapse can store, process and send onwards a signal much quicker than a CPU can fetch a byte from RAM, let alone process it.

[@clochard4074]

Thank you RedButton for this pleasing and instructive reading! I agree with you, chemical communication is really important for the brain, as we can see when it interacts with hormones from the endocrine system to radically change its behavior. Maybe one day researchers will take this aspect in consideration, but for now I can't blame them for keeping it simple, since their work seems more interested in parallel processing rather than an accurate representation of a neuron. I hope even this way their work can push further the research on brains.

[@mickelodiansurname9578]

Neuromorphic architecture actually dates back to the 1980's. But it was difficult to scale up back then. One interesting difference between neuromorphic and the current standard is that a neuromorphic processor just like the brain does not need RAM, nor does it need timing, nor is it limited to a digital operation. Its a vastly different architecture. Completely unrelated to the evolution of standard processors. Perfectly suited to tensor based calculations and neural nets.

I have seen this shown on a TV series called (Towards 2000) back in 1990 were they showed an organic computer but you won’t find out about it because Towards 2000 is the most suppressed thing I have seen on the internet, as all information regarding its existence has disappeared. This computer they showed was built by pulling the brain apart layer by layer and replicating it with the use of a fungus they said was found in only two parts of the earth, and also said they were cheap and simple to produce once you knew how. In the demonstration they show the computer that was the same size of a standard cart monitor and a keyboard and when he turned it on it was on instantly and the screen showed a face, he showed how you could press a couple of keys and switch it over to a computer operating system were you could manually type but he said it was not needed because it could learn like a person and you just spoke to it. It had stereo vision and sound and was smarter than us as well, and to demonstrate it they plugged it into an excavator that it had now idea of what it was, they were demonstrating how quick it could adapt and learn so they just asked it to dig a hole 10x10x10 with a 2º pitch in the south west corner. This computer looked at the schematics of the machine and started it up and dug the hole under half an hour quicker the any human could dig the hole with perfection, they then plugged it into black robot that was eight foot tall, and eight legged, evil looking machine. And same again they just told it to walk to the end of the warehouse so it read it's schematics and stood within seconds and walked to the end without any issue was scary to watch it looked so alive the way it moved. Then they told this machine to return to where it came from, and on its way back they pushed wooden crates in front of it to see how it would react and it shut down, they left it though to see what it would do and two days later it started up got up and looked around and completed the task. This is where the Terminator movie came from because when they American deep state military was shown by the inventor how to create them he died in a car accident and the military used it to build a AI robotic soldier, the Terminator. They had it working along with them to keep an eye on it and see how it would perform, but after some time the thing turned on them and started to see them as the enemy, funny how AI does that, I guess they just can’t figure out why we kill each other and destroy so much. So they got six black ops soldiers to come and take it out, I guess they wanted to see how good it could do, big mistake. These six guys tried to take it down they said they had done some very scary things in their job and are not easily scared but this was nothing like they had faced before this thing was able to predict there every move and was the most scary thing had ever felt and was the most difficult thing they had ever faced, so much so the military said they would never build another one, do you think they kept their word. I think they are doing this because they are working on chips they can control us with.

[@themaskedkid5266]

Well, you can't determine that until you make one and ask it how it feels. Humans are all used to being able to go outside, and to some degree they are naturally wired for wanting to experience the real world. A computer in a bottle like this will not necessarily have a concept of these things. It possibly will even feel "satisfied" at simply being used for its purpose. No one can know for sure, really.

Dude, I am so glad I found your Channel. Your content is amazing and I learn a lot from watching your videos. My only critique is that maybe you can structure the content a bit more? I mean it obviously is structured but there is *a lot* going on so maybe help your audience by emphasising your main points by presenting them in the video? For example where you summarised the thoughts of Dr. Modha, maybe also write down your summarised points? you talk kinda fast (which I think is good compared to all those slowpokes on other tech channels) so to make it a bit easier to follow you in this highly demanding topic, this would probably help. other than that keep it going! cheers

Your left brain/right brain divide isn't really that well supported by scientific evidence, at least not as stated. You present a far more stark divide than actually exists.

[@MrEmBerna]

I agree with you, but at the same time, I am not blaming him for his choice. He is resuming in a nutshell the most probable future of computing, and to do that he had to roughly talk about other things, like how the human brain works. The rough left/right division is something we have heard many times, even if it is not true, but complaining about that is like blaming people because they're saying that the Earth is perfectly round even if it is not, when they are first trying to (make people) understand that it is not flat like a plate at all. Moreover, the parallel structure IBM and Co. are trying to develop leads me to think that an advanced man-made emulator of human brains could either replicate the fuzzy situation we actually have within ourselves, where cognitive functions are entangled or intertwined, or a perfectly and simmetrically divided brain, as he was firstly claiming, with the logical operator located on one side and the creative operator located on the other one

Computers replaced about 75% of the paperwork work I did working in a big city hospital in the 80s and 90s. Everything was manual when I started. The machines cranked out the tests but the the technician still has to cut and mount EKG strips so the doctor can interpret and sign it. All that stuff is done by computer now. The cardiology office I worked for from 1979 to 1991 doesn't exist anymore. They tore it down and put up a shiny new hospital. It still has that "new building" smell.
