Wired writes about innovative tech to move from electronic chips (like market-leader’s Nvidia chips that power AI computing) to light-based chips. With a 10-year runway of development, there is a potential for 1000x increased computing efficiency and reduced power demands using light to transmit data instead of electrons.
This feels a lot like the potential transformation that might come from quantum computing. The people and companies innovating in this space need huge amounts of investment, people, resources to figure out the dead-ends and solutions to as-yet impossible problems.
At the beginning of all these ideas, they all look promising.
Good luck! Of course, 10 years from now, hind-sight will be 20:20. “Oh, of course, these particular projects were successful and the others were just stupid ideas.”
