https://www.timventura.com - There are limits to transistor size & core density - and modern computing is pushing silicon right to the edge. What comes next?
We’re joined by Professor Nick Colosimo to discuss trends in artificial intelligence and next-generation computing architectures. He estimates that replicating the 89 billion neurons of your brain in silicon would require hundreds 100's of kilowatts of power and take cubic meters of volume – compared to only 20 watts and 1.2 liters inside your head. What is it about the human brain that’s so much more efficient?
It's an important question not only for Artificial Intelligence, but for information processing in general. DCDC’s Global Strategic Trends estimates that mankind will generate over 178 million exabytes of digitally stored data by the year 2045. We can store that data, but can we process it effectively - or will we end up living in a world of "missed opportunities"?
Nick Colosimo is an accomplished strategist, engineer, technologist and futurist. He currently has a dual role is as the Head of Strategy & Integration as well as the Autonomy & Robotics Senior Technologist & Cluster Lead at BAE Systems Air. He is also a visiting Professor at Cranfield University, assigned to the Autonomous and Cyber-Physical Systems Centre.
Nick has just completed a Master’s of Science in Applied Artificial Intelligence at Cranfield University, and has over 70 published, granted, and classified patents across a wide array of disciplines in the aerospace, energy, and computing sectors.
