University of Ottawa reviews brain-inspired chips for greener AI data centers

Researchers from the University of Ottawa, Columbia University, and Hanyang University have reviewed emerging semiconductor technologies that mimic aspects of how the human brain processes information. Published in Advanced Functional Materials, the review examines artificial neurons and new device designs that could help reduce energy use in AI computing. The work also explores possible applications in wearable health technology and human-machine interfaces, though practical deployment will require further research and development.
