Whether you're playing poker against a single opponent or find yourself in a bidding war over a home purchase with another prospective buyer, you are operating under conditions of imperfect information. You know what cards you're holding in the poker game, and you also know how much above the home's asking price you can afford, but you don't know your opponent's hand in the card game or how high the other home buyer is willing to go.

Bridging the gap between neuromorphic ionic computing and more efficient AI

15 June 2026 at 18:40
The human brain is the ultimate supercomputer. It uses a highly branched and interconnected network of neurons and synapses to achieve massive computational power with extreme efficiency. In the age of AI, the brain, a paradigm of efficient neuromorphic computing, is providing inspiration for scientists.

Despite the AI hype, some experts warn of a bubbleβ€”what happens if it pops?
