Harvard is trying to build an AI as fast as the human brain

Many computers have a comparable storage capacity, but their ability to recognize patterns and learn information does not match the human brain. Better understanding of how neurons are connected could help develop more complex artificial intelligence.
Harvard University has been awarded $28 million (£19m) to investigate why brains are so much better at learning and retaining information than artificial intelligence. This could help make AI systems faster, smarter and more like human brains.

Computers are so fast because they work in twos:

When adding:

1
2
4
8
16

...if the answer is not a multiple of two one is simply added. This should be how humans are taught maths.
