Unconventional AI aims to create a new, energy-efficient AI computer platform inspired by neuroscience. It develops silicon circuits that exhibit brain-like nonlinear dynamics to create a new foundation for intelligence. This means the startup will create hardware-isomorphism and run neural networks directly on physical objects, rather than simulating physical systems using software as is currently the case. This approach will enable capabilities significantly exceeding existing models while consuming only a fraction of the energy.
