Intel introduces an experimental 'self-learning' chip to make robots smarter

Intel just introduced a new type of chip that could have big implications for artificial intelligence. 

The company is experimenting with a new "self-learning" chip that's designed to learn like the human brain. 

Called the "Intel Loihi test chip," the processor is what Intel calls a "neuromorphic chip," meaning it's designed to learn from its environment. The chip could be used for an array of AI-intensive applications, but the company says it will be particularly impactful in industrial automation and personal robotics. Read more...
