"Defense network computers. New... powerful... hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination."
Will it be exponential?
Do you want Skynet? Because this is how you get Skynet.
Ambient AI
No surprise here. It was expected.
Google is far from being the first to do this.
This is 100% in my wheelhouse. LOTS and LOTS of design and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) companies are already using AI methods in their tools, where it makes sense.
EDA companies typically are on the leading edge of any way to speed up execution or improve quality of results, there’s a whole conference (DAC) dedicated for industry and academia to show off their latest research.
The need, and the trick, is to get ALL your components optimally placed and routed, as the design will only run as fast as your slowest path (for all paths on that clock). And to have it run in a reasonable amount of time, so you can turn around a logic update quickly.
I suspect that this is some OK research, paired with a huge PR budget. Google is a fairly new design house.
Anyone remember the movie Collosus.
Even then, I thought the things we were doing was unbelieveable.....it's been that way for me for 55 years now. I retired from TI at the end of 1994.
