Deep-learning models are being used in many fields, from health care diagnostics to financial forecasting. However, these models are so computationally intensive that they require the use of powerful cloud-based servers. This reliance on cloud computing poses significant security risks, particularly in areas like health care, where hospitals may be hesitant to use AI tools

A new silicon valley startup, NTT Research, has introduced a hyperspectral compute-in-memory architecture that merges space and frequency division multiplexing to boost computational efficiency and throughput. In contrast to many existing optical interconnect architectures, by integrating frequency division multiplexing, each pixel is able to process multiple frequency signals concurrently. This allows for the optics to process

Artificial intelligence is helping businesses in multiple industries streamline processes, make better decisions, boost productivity and more. But there’s no industry in which AI’s capabilities could have a bigger potential impact than the global agriculture sector. Experts are optimistic that revolutionary technologies powered by AI can help usher in an era of sustainable, high-yield farming

The Coherent Ising Machine (CIM) being developed by NTT Research is a hybrid classical and quantum machine based on photonic circuits. It uses a network of optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) programmed to solve problems that have been mapped to an Ising model, a mathematical abstraction of magnetic systems composed of competitively interacting spins or angular

When most people think about quantum computing, they envision giant golden spools of wires, knitted together around complicated, beeping machines — a sci-fi engineering and physics contraption that is still in the future. However, for many companies, quantum technology is driving operations today. From jet engine design to logistics and cargo handling in ports, quantum computing

Quantum dots are nanoscale semiconductor structures with unique properties that have long been heralded for their potential in various applications. They can also be used to trap excitons, which are bound electron-hole pairs formed when a material absorbs photons. A new approach to achieving electrical control of optically active quantum dots overcomes traditional limits on

Big Tech companies trying to roll out new AI tools face some blowback in recent weeks, whether it was OpenAI using a Scarlett Johannson-like voice (without her permission or licensing) to tout new voice AI features; or Microsoft hyping a new feature that takes screen shots of your computer every few seconds; or Google proudly

#21 Address Privacy and Ethics Before Developing AI Engines Speaker: Kazuhiro “Kazu” Gomi “The ongoing dialogue regarding AI’s potential impact on society, culture, and economics is only in its nascent stages… In the coming years, we will witness a surge in more powerful, energy-efficient AI technology. This advancement will enable us to shift computational tasks to sensors
