New IBM and Samsung transistors could be key to super-efficient vertical chips

Posted on by Robin Edgar

IBM and Samsung claim they’ve made a breakthrough in semiconductor design. On day one of the IEDM conference in San Francisco, the two companies unveiled a new design for stacking transistors vertically on a chip. With current processors and SoCs, transistors lie flat on the surface of the silicon, and then electric current flows from Read more about New IBM and Samsung transistors could be key to super-efficient vertical chips[…]

This Air Force Targeting AI Thought It Had a 90% Success Rate. It Was More Like 25%

If the Pentagon is going to rely on algorithms and artificial intelligence, it’s got to solve the problem of “brittle AI.” A top Air Force official recently illustrated just how far there is to go. In a recent test, an experimental target recognition program performed well when all of the conditions were perfect, but a Read more about This Air Force Targeting AI Thought It Had a 90% Success Rate.
