The Advent of Neuromorphic AI
The “AI industrial complex” in its current form is not sustainable. While transformers have delivered remarkable capabilities, their energy consumption and computational demands reveal a fundamental inefficiency: we’re fighting against nature’s design principles. The human brain operates on roughly 20 watts, processing massive volumes of information through sparse, event-driven spikes. (at least, as we currently understand it today) Current AI systems consume thousands of watts to support narrow inference capabilities, forcing dense matrix operations through every computation.
