Novel Machine Learning (ML) methods are revolutionizing how we think about computation and build computers. ML is believed to provide a path to artificial intelligence. Current ML systems however are energy hungry, which renders them unsuitable for edge applications and contributes to environmental problems. Hence, in the forthcoming transformation, energy-efficiency will play a major role, in which respect there is a lot to learn from the brain. Computers are like empty boxes.
