AI technology receives a boost: Engineers teach AI with light

Engineers have just created a chip that teaches AI using light instead of electricity and could make today's computers resemble dial-up modems. This innovative chip reconfigures light beams in real-time to solve intricate problems, reducing energy consumption and speeding up AI training without requiring the use of a single electron.

The chip demonstrated exceptional performance in standard AI tests, learning faster with fewer components and eliminating the need for bulky circuits. The Penn team believes this represents a significant advancement towards light-powered computers that possess the remarkable ability to learn at lightning speed..
