AI versus Marshy - Using AI to Create Computer Parts that Will Power Even Better AI

I’m Marshy, and I’m excited to share with you some of the latest developments in AI. If you’re new here, welcome to my newsletter where I explore the intersection of AI and business. In my previous edition, I talked about using AI to enhance client relationships, and today I want to dive deeper into that topic. The way they built it is with a different technology than usual called integrated silicon photonics. Here’s a picture - see how it’s much smaller than a standard design? Image credit: X company µm = micrometres. A length of bacterium is 1-10µm A fog droplet is ~10µm Super chip - 14x16µm So how is this possible - simulation . I’ve talked about digital twinning before - where you can copy data from the real world onto your computer, and predict what’s going to happen in the simulation with terrifying levels of accuracy. Well Google built an AI design simulator, then: created an array of chips with the simulator Put the chips through simulation and testing identified a design that passed the simulation was able to then use that design to create a real-world chip at a semi-conductor foundry Pretty charts I can’t read from the discussion paper Put another way: They created something with a computer that’s impossible to design as a human, and then printed it out to be used by humans in the real world. I was going to include this news in last week’s newsletter but was glad I didn’t. Because I got a WhatsApp from my old colleague Patricia! She ran point on this project and it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. Well done! A prism creating rainbows 🌈 Like with all deep tech it will be a while before this is realised by use mere mortals - but don’t try and tell me AI isn’t doing groundbreaking things. Using AI for old client relationships. Via Sydney Startups FB Group . As part of my mission to identify more ways to help my dear readers, I put a shoutout in a local FB group basically seeking to share ways you can use AI for yourself - today .
