(1.5 pts) The Future of Intelligent Systems  Neuromorphic computing is an innovative approach that mimics the neural structure and functioning of the human brain to create more efficient computing systems. Unlike traditional computers that rely on binary processing, neuromorphic systems use spiking neural networks to process information in a way that resembles human cognition. This technology has the potential to revolutionize fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and sensory processing, enabling machines to learn and adapt in real- time. The advantages of neuromorphic computing include lower power consumption and faster processing speeds, making it ideal for applications in autonomous vehicles and smart devices. However, challenges remain, including the complexity of designing neuromorphic chips and the need for new programming paradigms. As research progresses, neuromorphic computing could lead to breakthroughs in how we interact with technology and understand intelligence itself. 23. Neuromorphic computing mimics the human brain's structure. 24. Traditional computers use spiking neural networks.
25. Neuromorphic systems are energy-efficient. 26. This technology is fully developed and widely used. 27. According to the flyer, which field could benefit from neuromorphic computing? A. Autonomous vehicles B. Traditional banking C. Manual data entry D. Static web pages 28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a challenge of neuromorphic computing? A. Complexity of chip design B. Need for new programming paradigms C. High power consumption D. Integration with existing systems V. Use the correct form of the word given in each sentence.
