The Forward-Forward algorithm from Geoffry Hinton is a backpropagation alternative inspired by learning in the cortex. It tackles several issues with backprop that would allow it to be run much more efficiently. Hopefully research like this continues to pave the way toward full-hardware integrated AI chips in the future.
