Recent breakthroughs in photonic computing could finally make human-level AI possible.
Incredible new research in the field of “photonic computing” could have breakthrough implications for the development of human-level artificial intelligence.
Scientists in China recently developed an artificial intelligence training chip that uses light to conduct computations instead of electricity. According to the team, it’s extremely more efficient than the most popular AI chips on the market.
Meanwhile, an unrelated team of researchers out of Oxford demonstrated that similar light-based computing techniques can be conducted using regular light sources, as opposed to high-powered lasers.
