The first AI chip that learns and infers has been developed, combining FeCAPs and memristors for efficient, adaptive edge computing.
According to Robin Mitchell, one of the main obstacles to progress in artificial intelligence is physical, not algorithmic.
The current approach to AI systems relies on large amounts of specialized silicon, high energy consumption, and complex cooling systems, which is unsustainable.
Training AI processes is the most energy-intensive part, and if AI continues to scale at its current pace, it could lead to serious resource shortages.
