Neuromorphic engineering is focused on developing computer hardware and software systems that mimic the structure, function, and behavior of the human brain. The goal of neuromorphic engineering is to create computing systems that are much more energy-efficient, scalable, and adaptive than conventional computer systems, and that can solve complex problems in a manner that is similar to how the brain solves problems. Neuromorphic computing is a specific application of neuromorphic engineering. It involves the use of hardware and software systems that are designed to process information in a manner that is similar to how the human brain processes information.
This book explores the new frameworks, institutional arrangements, rules, and policies for governance of the digital world. It stimulates a discussion about which institutions are needed to govern the digital world, what principles they should seek to enforce, and how far their power should extend.
