I don't think there's a fundamental reason why you couldn't program AI digitally. Maybe there's some high level reason why it needs analog processing but I doubt it.

ML models use floating point numbers which approximate continuous values. An analog computer like you are describing could maybe speed up those calculations but it wouldn't fix the fact that ML models just can't be intelligent because of how they work (in my opinion).

@matjoeman Maybe, but I don't think we're anywhere need the complexity yet and attempts to relate the way humans think to the way computers process aren't useful.
