Mind-blowing' IBM chip speeds up AI

- Researchers at IBM have developed a brain-inspired computer chip called NorthPole that can supercharge artificial intelligence (AI) by working faster with much less power.

- The chip eliminates the need to frequently access external memory, allowing it to perform tasks such as image recognition faster and consume less power.

- NorthPole runs neural networks and is made up of 256 computing units, each with its own memory.

- It beats existing AI machines in benchmark tests and uses one-fifth …
