Engineers develop chip that uses ‘fastest means of communication’ for AI tasks

Engineers from the University of Pennsylvania have developed a silicon-photonic chip that uses light to perform complex math for AI tasks. This chip manipulates materials at the nanoscale and enables brain-like processing, while offering commercial applications and privacy advantages. In addition to faster speed and less energy consumption, the chip is also said to offer privacy advantages over current chips.
