'A single optical fiber': Scientists build a silicon-less computer that use light waves and surpasses existing systems for classification — could this be the ultimate AI CPU?
It's been used to diagnose COVID-19 infections from voice samples
In an era where the ecological footprint of large-scale AI systems is increasingly being scrutinized, a team of international scientists has developed a potentially game-changing new solution. As Tech Xplore explains, data, whether pixel values from images or frequency components of an audio track, are encoded onto the color channels of ultrashort light pulses. "We are the first to demonstrate that such a vibrant interplay of light waves in optical fibers can directly classify complex information without any additional intelligent software," Prof. Chemnitz said.
