Integrated Optics in the Age of AI
Artificial intelligence is changing our lives in countless ways. Let’s pull away the curtain and explore what hardware is running state of the art AI systems. More specifically, let’s take a look at how integrated optics plays an increasingly important role in enabling ever larger models and new applications. Finally, we’ll take a look at what future AI factories will look like.
