Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a role in virtually every aspect of our lives, from self-driving cars to smart vacuum cleaners, to computer models that can predict the course of an epidemic. No matter how advanced these AI systems are, there always remains a certain degree of unpredictability about their behavior.Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a role in virtually every aspect of our lives, from self-driving cars to smart vacuum cleaners, to computer models that can predict the course of an epidemic.

Novel memristors to overcome AI’s ‘catastrophic forgetting’
0

So-called “memristors” consume extremely little power and behave similarly to brain cells. Researchers from Jülich, led by Ilia Valov, have now introduced novel memristive components that offer significant advantages over previous versions: they are more robust, function across a wider voltage range, and can operate in both analog and digital modes. These properties could help address the problem of “catastrophic forgetting,” where artificial neural networks abruptly forget previously learned information.So-called “memristors” consume extremely little power and behave similarly to brain cells.
