A newly developed chip that uses light instead of purely electrical signals could significantly defuse the energy problem of artificial intelligence (AI). Researchers at the University of Florida have presented a prototype that visually performs folding operations (convolutions) — a central building block of many neural networks — and thus achieves efficiency gains of a factor of ten to a hundred compared to conventional electronic chips in labo…
This chip uses light to supercharge AI and cut energy use
Convolutional neural networks, or CNNs, are the workhorses behind many of AI's greatest hits, like spotting faces in photos, reading handwriting, or translating languages. They're masters at pattern recognition, scanning raw data with tiny filters (called kernels) to pick out meaningful features, kind of like a digital magnifying glass that highlights what matters.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: LLM (Large Language Model), Arti…
