Abstract : Digital computing is approaching its fundamental limits just as compute-intensive workloads like machine learning are taking off. To address this, we are building a new kind of computer–an analog optical computer–to accelerate AI inference and hard optimization workloads. The computer has the potential to improve the efficiency and sustainability of these workloads by... Read more →
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs span a variety of technical disciplines to develop breakthrough technologies for national security, all of which have the potential to raise ethical, legal, and societal implication – or, ELSI – considerations. Taking time to consider ELSI’s role in a program can contribute to the responsible development of emerging... Read more →
