How UC Santa Cruz's Silicon Valley lab is reverse-engineering the human brain to solve AI's chip power crisis

DIGITIMESSeptember 7, 2026en

As the global race for artificial intelligence (AI) consumes vast oceans of electricity and pushes modern utility grids to the brink, a team of California researchers is looking to biological neuroscience to build an entirely new class of energy-efficient microelectronics. Their objective is straightforward but radical: reverse-engineer the human brain to solve the semiconductor industry's looming power and thermal bottlenecks.
