The Pentagon is funding research to develop a microchip that not only promises brain-like artificial intelligence, it is small enough to fit inside a wide range of mobile devices.
Known as 'Eyeriss', the palm-sized processor has a staggering 168 cores and is based on 'neural networks' that are modelled on the human brain.
By comparison, processing chips used in a wide variety of smartphones typically have quad cores.
This technology could make its way onto the battlefield in the form of drones or robots that could conduct their own learning in real-time, without the need for human analysis.
...
Researchers at MIT said Eyeriss is 10 times as efficient as a mobile GPU, so it could also enable mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to run powerful artificial-intelligence algorithms locally, rather than having to upload data to the cloud for processing.
This would help to speed up apps because the chip has its own memory, and keep the amount of work to a minimum, meaning your future handset wouldn't rely so heavily on the internet.
'Deep learning is useful for many applications, such as object recognition, speech, face detection,' said Vivienne Sze, a professor at MIT's department of electrical engineering and computer science whose group developed the new chip.
'Right now, the networks are pretty complex and are mostly run on high-power GPUs.
'You can imagine that if you can bring that functionality to your cell phone, you could still operate even if you don't have a Wi-Fi connection.'

This will end well...
I don’t ever want a thinking weapon system flying around.
What the heck are people thinking about?
This is dangerous and just plain stupid. IMO
Isaac Asimov’s rules of robotics need to be implemented now.
Especially in an era where Muslims aren’t considered the enemy but white people inherently are.

Just as with people, there are some lessons you can only learn once.
Oh goody. I can’t imagine how this could go wrong.
That was a great episode!
Do they think like Christian or Liberal humans?
You’ll be fine so long as you smile and pay your taxes.
And don’t run in crowds.
Or walk too slow.
Or fidget.

From the elites perspective, not enough people capable of genociding 95% of humanity. The stated goal of the elites.
Drones on the other hand...no remorse.
You beat me to it. I should have read further downthread.
