Harnessing the brain's computing power in silicon could revolutionize computers, making them thousands of times more energy-efficient.

Integrating diverse perspectives, such as Africa's, into technology could lead to innovative computing solutions akin to the human brain.

Harnessing brain's efficiency could revolutionize computing: a brain-like computer uses just 10 watts, unlike current tech.
