A new proof-of-concept DNA-infused computer chip could help us train future AI models even more efficiently.
A new proof-of-concept DNA-infused computer chip could be the AI breakthrough that we've been waiting for. The chip was made using a DNA substrate that can perform calculations and manage big data processing, all in the same component. Scientists have long discussed the possibility of using DNA-based devices to help push processing to new levels. And in the past, we've even seen DNA-based devices being used to encode data on a very small scale.
Using DNA as a way to store data has long been proposed as a more effective option than hard drives and even solid-state drives . Big companies like Microsoft have even looked at possible ways of using DNA to store huge amounts of data. But, this chip is the first time that we've seen scientists trying to use it to process the data, too, which is what makes it such an enterprising and promising component.
