  • Researchers have created a light-manipulating AI chip smaller than a grain of salt that can harness light to power computations.

The article from BGR discusses a groundbreaking development in AI technology where researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have created an AI chip that operates using light instead of electricity. This photonic chip, which is smaller than a grain of salt, utilizes light to perform computations, offering significant advantages in terms of speed and energy efficiency over traditional electronic chips. The chip's design allows for the processing of information at the speed of light, potentially revolutionizing fields like telecommunications, data centers, and AI-driven devices by reducing power consumption and heat generation. This innovation could lead to more compact, efficient, and powerful computing systems, with applications ranging from enhancing smartphone capabilities to improving the efficiency of large-scale data processing.
