Researchers at the University of Florida have created a silicon photonic chip that uses light to perform AI computations, ...

To perform a convolution, machine learning data is first converted into laser light on the chip. The light passes through the Fresnel lenses, which carry out the mathematical transformation. The ...

Artificial intelligence is consuming enormous amounts of energy, but researchers at the University of Florida have built a chip that could change everything by using light instead of electricity for a ...

“Performing a key machine learning computation at near zero energy is a leap forward for future AI systems,” said study ...
