Memories of light for the Artificial Intelligences of the future. These are circuits based on light instead of electronics, which are inspired by the functioning of the human brain.
Technique was developed in Italy by three researchers from the Institute of Nanotechnology of the National Research Council and the Italian Institute of Technology in Rome. Any AI requires an intensive training phase that requires considerable computing power, enormous amounts of data, and often consumes the equivalent energy of a small city. To find a solution to these problems, researchers drew inspiration from the way theHuman brain stores memory.
