Accelerating AI at the speed of light

 Yichen Shen PhD '16 is CEO of Lightelligence, an MIT spinout using photonics to reinvent computing for artificial intelligence.

Improved computing power and an exponential increase in data have helped fuel the rapid rise of artificial intelligence. But as AI systems become more sophisticated, they’ll need even more computational power to address their needs, which traditional computing hardware most likely won’t be able to keep up with. To solve the problem, MIT spinout Lightelligence is developing the next generation of computing hardware.
