However, researching, developing and, in particular, using AI systems presents enormous challenges for the computing power and storage capacity needed to process large data volumes. These ...

7th January 2021 9:51 am A multinational team of researchers has developed a photonic processor that uses light instead of electronics and could help usher in a new dawn in computing. Current computing relies on electrical current passed through circuitry on ever-smaller chips, but in recent years this technology has been bumping up against its physical limits. To facilitate the next generation of computation-hungry technology such as artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles, researche...

Light-Carrying Chips Advance Machine Learning In the digital age, data traffic is growing at an exponential rate. The demands on computing power for applications in artificial intelligence such as pattern and speech recognition in particular, or for self-driving vehicles, often exceeds the capacities of conventional computer processors. Working together with an international team, researchers at the University of Münster are d...
