Beyond GPUs: Why Optics Matters to AI

​AI systems need to move data as well as process it. As more chips work together, the connections between them become an important part of the performance and energy challenge.

​Join Mr Caleb Chan for a Parallax Session on optical interconnects, which use light to carry data. We’ll explore how these connections fit into AI infrastructure and why their development matters for the companies supplying it.

​Hosted in collaboration with CUHK Business School Global Business Programmes.
