This is so bollocks. And from the IEEE no less. Shame on them.
A turing-complete architecture is a turing complete architecture. There is no difference in computational ability between turing-complete architectures.
The advance here is in hardware architecture, not in AI. Make no mistake, it's an interesting approach - possibly the memristor will allow a neural network to be a practical chip, which has not proven feasible to date. But it's not going to open the magic gates to Big AI.
The mathematical, philosophical, and algorithmic aspects of AI are simply not understood in any sort of great depth of thought. Say, what is intelligence anyway (rhetorically)?
I look forward to seeing the memristor research results, and I hope some useful hardware neural network advances come from it.
