The human brain inspires RMIT researchers to develop a light-powered AI chip | ZDNet

RMIT University researchers have developed a light-powered electronic chip featuring artificial intelligence (AI) that has the potential to be used to power technologies such as drones, robotics, smart wearables, and bionic implants like artificial retinas.
Typically, AI relies heavily on software and off-site data processing, but according to lead researcher and RMIT associate professor Sumeet Walia, the prototype has been designed to combine image-capturing hardware and AI together to deliver brain-like functionality onto a single nanoscale platform.
