Join Wilfred G. van der Wiel as he explores his research in the field of brain-inspired nano systems, in the first in our series of Dutch Science Lectures. Watch the Q&A here: • Q&A: Materialising art...

So far, intelligence has been the domain of living systems. Would it be possible to bring intelligence to the inanimate realm and use it for information processing? What would we gain from such an approach? Could we make more efficient computers? What would be the technological and societal implications?
This event is supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Netherlands and the United Kingdom share a long history of scientific exchange and collaboration. The Netherlands treasures and stimulates these excellent relations, especially in an era where complex societal challenges are not contained by borders, not even the stretch of water between us as North Sea Neighbours. The solutions to these challenges demand international collaboration in research and ongoing exchange of scientific ideas.
This event was recorded at the Ri on 3 October 2022.
Wilfred G. van der Wiel (Gouda, 1975) is full professor of Nanoelectronics and director of the BRAINS Centre for Brain-Inspired Nano Systems at the University of Twente, The Netherlands. He holds a second professorship at the Institute of Physics of the Westfälische Wilhems-Universität Münster, Germany. his research focuses on unconventional electronics for efficient information processing.
Van der Wiel is a pioneer in Material Learning at the nanoscale, realising computational functionality and artificial intelligence in designless nanomaterial substrates through principles analogous to Machine Learning. He has authored more than 125 journal articles receiving over 8,000 citations.

    I fear that field of research is going the wrong direction by trying to replicate yet another way to achieve a Von Neumann architecture: the brain doesn´t do logic gates or colocation of computing and memory! The connections *are* what the brain uses to compute *and* memorize. The memories and processing units *are* the connections. I´ll find this research field interesting when it will focus on circuits and materials that can dynamically reconfigure their connections, like the brain does. That´s the key ability to be searching for, here.

    I think that was just a proof of concept for the actual materials and design. Training them as logic gates is probably done because it's easy to measure. They could have trained them to do anything if they wanted, but keep in mind that with a single electronic neuron, there's not much you can do. The real magic of versatility happens when you have bigger matrixes of these things. Currently they are at the stage of figuring out how to best build these. And this is a huge step ahead should they succeed because the training happens in hardware, in the atom layer, in the material itself, without any computation at all. Current deep learning hardware is static, it doesn't change its own structure, because it's made of classic chip dies. As I understood it the goal here is to make deep-learning-in-material faster and more energy efficient than the current method which is deep-learning-in-software (on hardware which materials are not altered in the process).

    The brain is to produce more nueons and more connections physically, it is not about movement of flow of electrons and static infrastructure. The Infrastructure keep changing and learn, and the states are infinite. so the path should not limit the state for future. expect every nano second, there is repair, there is cleansing, there is construction, there is connection and disconnection is going on in a physical format. So not just power consumpsion also there is force to create, destroy, repair, connect with fundamental unit such as DNA and nerve gene unit.

    Yeah we often handwave away all the problems of humanity like that. What if emotions fill our networks with goal-orientedness? To understand how stuff like this evolved you need stuff like game theory, the gene's-eye view, but the adaptation of emotions probably is something computationally rational to have and to tug on the rest of the social network. Emotions have a purpose, all animal have it mate, it will play a role in life's landscape in the future and it even might turn out to be the ideal so we can interact with them. I'm sorry for getting biopunk here, but the closest extensions of ourselves, we might want to feel for ourselves and not them them feel on their own. I don't know what the landscape of life will be in the future, but we have only scratched the surface of what life can be

    Idealizing materials has really been a great testable repeatable process of idealism for me. Like most my mind was cornered in school and heavily influenced by the industrial revolutionary mindset. we teach ourselves evolutionary mythology and materialism. Nothing wrong with this except how dogmatic it become. How hard headed even now it is being as it tries to change itself to adopt idealistic evidence. But this revival and rise of idealism brought about by computation with much better explanations of life and our universe are all very contradictory to Darwin's context and our models. Hijacking philosophy lol Idealism better explains idealism just materialism better explain material. take your cognitive bias medicines.
