An “unprecedented” new computer chip could help revolutionise AI, according to its creators.
The system should allow increasingly complex artificial intelligence to live on chips themselves, without having to send information to the cloud.
Eventually, experts hope that artificial intelligence will be able to be embedded in “edge” devices: objects such as phones that could perform detailed AI tasks whenever and wherever.
The new breakthrough is a step towards that, since it allows for a wide variety of different AI tasks to be done far more quickly and efficiently than ever before.
A paper describing the findings, ‘A compute-in-memory chip based on resistive random-access memory’, is published today in Nature.
