Climbing the AI Energy Wall

AI systems are starting to get really useful, but they use far too much energy to be served to everyone on the planet. We are going to need to make computers a lot more efficient and produce way more energy than today. Trevor McCourt (BSc, MME, '20), CTO and co-founder of leading chipmaker Extropic, will explore how radically efficient computing can transform the trajectory of AI’s energy demands. The program also includes startup lightning talks, a feature presentation from near-zero energy chip maker Vaire, and a networking reception.
