Neural computing: Hype or reality?

Igor Aleksander

European Management Journal, 1988, vol. 6, issue 2, 114-117

Abstract: Neural computing is on everyone's lips. Major manufacturers from the world over are busy announcing that they are planning to enter the field. This is greeted by a considerable rise in their share values. Several machines have already appeared on the market and their sales brochures suggest that they offer a radical improvement in "intelligence" over conventional artificial intelligence programs. Although much of this is pure hype, I argue in this article that there is much technological benefit to be derived from the technique, but not to the extent that it will overthrow all we know about computing, but rather, it will work hand-in-hand with conventional methods to produce an improvement in the usability of computers.
