Part 7/13:
Shapiro envisions photonic neural networks capable of rendering graphics sharper than the human eye or AI models that can train in fractions of the current time with negligible energy costs. This could make AI and machine learning almost infinitely scalable and accessible, driving down costs and democratizing advanced data processing.
The Future of AI and Integration with Emerging Tech
AI, particularly deep learning models, has already demonstrated revolutionary applications—from drug discovery with AlphaFold to personalized medicine and cancer cures. Shapiro believes that 2023 will see AI transforming medicine, potentially curing many diseases and extending healthy lifespans.
