Penn Engineers have developed a new chip that uses light waves, rather than electricity, to perform the complex math essential to training AI. The chip has the potential to radically accelerate the processing speed of computers while also reducing their energy consumption. In addition to faster speed and less energy consumption, the chip has privacy advantages. No one can hack into a non-existing memory to access your information.
