Research team develops the fastest neuromorphic, electric double layer transistor

A research team consisting of the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and the Tokyo University of Science has developed the fastest electric double layer transistor using a highly ion-conductive ceramic thin film and a diamond thin film.

This transistor may be used to develop energy-efficient, high-speed edge AI devices with a wide range of applications, including future event prediction and /determination in images (including ), voices and odors. This research was published in the June 16, 2023, issue of Materials Today Advances.

An electric double layer transistor works as a switch using electrical resistance changes caused by the charge and discharge of an electric double layer formed at the interface between the electrolyte and semiconductor. Because this transistor is able to mimic the electrical response of human cerebral neurons (i.e., acting as a neuromorphic transistor), its use in AI devices is potentially promising.

AI chip startup Tenstorrent lands $100M investment from Hyundai and Samsung

The appetite for hardware to train AI models is voracious.

AI chips are forecast to account for up to 20% of the $450 billion total semiconductor market by 2025, according to McKinsey. And The Insight Partners projects that sales of AI chips will climb to $83.3 billion in 2027 from $5.7 billion in 2018, a compound annual growth rate 35%. (That’s close to 10 times the forecast growth rate for non-AI chips.)

Case in point, Tenstorrent, the AI hardware startup helmed by engineering luminary Jim Keller, this week announced that it raised $100 million in a convertible note funding round co-led by Hyundai Motor Group and Samsung Catalyst Fund.

Will architects really lose their jobs to AI?

As part of our AItopia series exploring how AI will impact architecture and design, Dezeen examines whether the technology will end up taking architects’ jobs.

In 2019, New York-based designer Sebastian Errazuriz caused a stir with his claim that 90 per cent of architects could lose their jobs to machines.

Four years on, following the emergence of several generative-AI models such as Midjourney and ChatGPT, Errazuriz is writing a book about AI’s impact on society and told Dezeen his opinion has not changed.

Actress Whoopi Goldberg says she doesn’t want AI to duplicate her ever

Artificial intelligence is currently gaining a lot of attention worldwide, particularly in Hollywood, where thousands of actors and writers are on strike, demanding regulations concerning AI. In the midst of this, actress Whoopi Goldberg shared her thoughts on the growing use of modern technology.

During a Hot Topics chat on the recent episode of The View with Neil deGrasse Tyson, the actress had a very deep discussion on AI as she went on to share that she doesn’t want to be recreated by AI.

Goldberg said, “I don’t want AI duplicating me. That’s what I don’t want,”.

Every Amazon division is working on generative AI projects

Just like pretty much every other major tech company, is placing a heavy focus on generative artificial intelligence. CEO Andy Jassy noted on Amazon’s latest earnings call that every division has multiple generative AI projects in the works.

“Inside Amazon, every one of our teams is working on building generative AI applications that reinvent and enhance their customers’ experience,”. “But while we will build a number of these applications ourselves, most will be built by other companies, and we’re optimistic that the largest number of these will be built on. Remember, the core of AI is data. People want to bring generative AI models to the data, not the other way around.”

To that end, Jassy said that AWS provides services and infrastructure that can help its customers, as notes. The AWS CodeWhisperer system, for instance, aims to by suggesting snippets of code they can use directly in the code editor.
