We study the approximation of measurable functions on the hypercube by functions arising from affine neural networks. Our main achievement is an approximation of any measurable function $f \colon W_n \to [-1,1]$ up to a prescribed precision $\varepsilon>0$ by a bounded number of neurons, depending only on $\varepsilon$ and not on the function $f$ or $n \in \mathbb N$.
