Could 'thermodynamic computing' unlock the true possibilities of AI? These studies think so, get ready for better image generation and much more

AI brain coming out of laptop screen.

• Thermodynamic computing uses physical energy flows instead of fixed digital circuits to perform AI calculations
• Image data is allowed to degrade naturally through tiny fluctuations in the computer’s components
• Scaling to complex image generation will require entirely new hardware designs and approaches

Scientists are exploring a new type of computing which uses natural energy flows to potentially perform AI tasks more efficiently.
