Comments on: Memristors – is the “missing” fourth electronic component the key to AI? http://futurismic.com/2009/07/13/memristors-is-the-missing-fourth-electronic-component-the-key-to-ai/ Presenting the fact and fiction of tomorrow since 2001 Sat, 19 May 2012 23:03:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Mark http://futurismic.com/2009/07/13/memristors-is-the-missing-fourth-electronic-component-the-key-to-ai/comment-page-1/#comment-38437 Mark Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:20:34 +0000 http://futurismic.com/?p=8112#comment-38437 This completely ignores the fact that the fundamental mathematics behind AI that are described within the 'memristor' chip are achievable on any machine that's Turing-Complete, eg, any commercially available desktop. This might provide more powerful ways to push numbers, but unless researchers settle down and put in the effort - and there's nothing that's stopped anyone from writing AI based on these principles - there won't be any interesting results.
