section of artificial intelligence and it is because it was programmed exactly
it is because it was programmed exactly
it is because it was programmed exactly to have very specific movements and

300 years the word computer was used to
300 years the word computer was used to describe humans carrying out
describe humans carrying out
describe humans carrying out calculations and it wasn’t until about
calculations and it wasn’t until about
calculations and it wasn’t until about 80 years ago with modern day digital
80 years ago with modern day digital
80 years ago with modern day digital computers that we started to use the
computers that we started to use the
computers that we started to use the word computer as describing a machine
word computer as describing a machine
word computer as describing a machine carrying out a calculation now we’re
carrying out a calculation now we’re
carrying out a calculation now we’re entering the age of artificial
entering the age of artificial
entering the age of artificial intelligence where machines are capable
intelligence where machines are capable
intelligence where machines are capable of learning so there’s two main
of learning so there’s two main
of learning so there’s two main subsections of artificial intelligence
subsections of artificial intelligence
subsections of artificial intelligence one is software the other is hardware so
one is software the other is hardware so
one is software the other is hardware so software is going to be line by line
software is going to be line by line
software is going to be line by line code and essentially what it is is it
code and essentially what it is is it
code and essentially what it is is it takes a system and allows for training
takes a system and allows for training
takes a system and allows for training from a data set this is a learning
from a data set this is a learning
from a data set this is a learning process

process and then it goes a little bit further
and then it goes a little bit further
and then it goes a little bit further and in this area it’s allowed to make
and in this area it’s allowed to make
and in this area it’s allowed to make classifications or predictions depending
classifications or predictions depending
classifications or predictions depending on what the task is hardware AI on the
on what the task is hardware AI on the
on what the task is hardware AI on the other hand is a physical chip capable of
other hand is a physical chip capable of
other hand is a physical chip capable of learning and it follows the same exact
learning and it follows the same exact
learning and it follows the same exact process as the software does it should
process as the software does it should
process as the software does it should definitely note that software AI is all
definitely note that software AI is all
definitely note that software AI is all over the internet all the major
over the internet all the major
over the internet all the major companies are already using it
companies are already using it
companies are already using it hardware AI however is being researched
hardware AI however is being researched
hardware AI however is being researched by all the major companies I have been
by all the major companies I have been
by all the major companies I have been working on Hardware AI the last five
working on Hardware AI the last five
working on Hardware AI the last five years and a great example of software a
years and a great example of software a
years and a great example of software a AI is self-driving cars so 1.3 million
AI is self-driving cars so 1.3 million
AI is self-driving cars so 1.3 million people die every year in automobile
people die every year in automobile
people die every year in automobile accidents and 20 to 50 million people
accidents and 20 to 50 million people
accidents and 20 to 50 million people are disabled or injured this is a number
are disabled or injured this is a number
are disabled or injured this is a number one leading cause of accidental death in
one leading cause of accidental death in
one leading cause of accidental death in the world
so self-driving cars are the future they
so self-driving cars are the future they will never have a lapse in intention
will never have a lapse in intention
will never have a lapse in intention they will never fall asleep never drive
they will never fall asleep never drive
they will never fall asleep never drive drunk or recklessly they will virtually
drunk or recklessly they will virtually
drunk or recklessly they will virtually remove automobile accidents as a cause
remove automobile accidents as a cause
remove automobile accidents as a cause of death so we can see the software AI
of death so we can see the software AI
of death so we can see the software AI is going to save lives and now the
is going to save lives and now the
is going to save lives and now the question is can a I help save our
question is can a I help save our
question is can a I help save our environment growing up in Washington
environment growing up in Washington
environment growing up in Washington State on the coastline I have an extreme
State on the coastline I have an extreme
State on the coastline I have an extreme of nature and it’s very important to me
of nature and it’s very important to me
of nature and it’s very important to me to give back to the world that we live
to give back to the world that we live
to give back to the world that we live in so it turns out hardware AI will lead
in so it turns out hardware AI will lead
in so it turns out hardware AI will lead to robots that are able to work in real
to robots that are able to work in real
to robots that are able to work in real time on site and determine say a
time on site and determine say a
time on site and determine say a cigarette is a piece of trash
cigarette is a piece of trash
cigarette is a piece of trash but leave a piece of driftwood where it
but leave a piece of driftwood where it
but leave a piece of driftwood where it is on top of this we have plastic piling
is on top of this we have plastic piling
is on top of this we have plastic piling up in the oceans and eventually we’re
up in the oceans and eventually we’re
up in the oceans and eventually we’re going to have massive ocean bots that
going to have massive ocean bots that
going to have massive ocean bots that will pick up plastic and leave fish
will pick up plastic and leave fish
will pick up plastic and leave fish alone also we have drones but using AI
alone also we have drones but using AI
alone also we have drones but using AI software called swarm intelligence
software called swarm intelligence
software called swarm intelligence modeled after birds and B movement we
modeled after birds and B movement we
modeled after birds and B movement we can quickly map out oil spills and then
can quickly map out oil spills and then
can quickly map out oil spills and then deploy see drones clean these up this is
deploy see drones clean these up this is
deploy see drones clean these up this is a much cleaner alternative than current
a much cleaner alternative than current
a much cleaner alternative than current oil spill techniques so the real
oil spill techniques so the real
oil spill techniques so the real question is why can’t we just use
question is why can’t we just use
question is why can’t we just use standard computers for this and there’s
standard computers for this and there’s
standard computers for this and there’s two main problems with standard
two main problems with standard
two main problems with standard computers so number one you have a
computers so number one you have a
computers so number one you have a separation of memory and processing and
separation of memory and processing and
separation of memory and processing and this space between it causes a
this space between it causes a
this space between it causes a limitation of information transfer
limitation of information transfer
limitation of information transfer number two the elements in your phones
number two the elements in your phones
number two the elements in your phones and computers today are so small
and computers today are so small
and computers today are so small we can’t really make them much smaller
we can’t really make them much smaller
we can’t really make them much smaller so we’re we’re hitting the limit of
so we’re we’re hitting the limit of
so we’re we’re hitting the limit of standard computer architectures so we
standard computer architectures so we
standard computer architectures so we need an alternative architecture we want
need an alternative architecture we want
need an alternative architecture we want to combine this memory and processing
to combine this memory and processing
to combine this memory and processing into the same platform and we want it to
into the same platform and we want it to
into the same platform and we want it to be super super low power so if we look
be super super low power so if we look
be super super low power so if we look to nature is an inspiration it turns out
to nature is an inspiration it turns out
to nature is an inspiration it turns out the human brain does just this very low
the human brain does just this very low
the human brain does just this very low power combining memory and processing we
power combining memory and processing we
power combining memory and processing we are able to store memories and solve
are able to store memories and solve
are able to store memories and solve complex problems and this is done by
complex problems and this is done by
complex problems and this is done by electrical signals flowing through
electrical signals flowing through
electrical signals flowing through neurons in the brain which are highly
neurons in the brain which are highly
neurons in the brain which are highly interconnected and densely packed so my
interconnected and densely packed so my
interconnected and densely packed so my group has sought to do just this
group has sought to do just this
group has sought to do just this starting with a standard chip if we zoom
starting with a standard chip if we zoom
starting with a standard chip if we zoom into this red box we can see platinum
into this red box we can see platinum
into this red box we can see platinum electrodes and these are just here to
electrodes and these are just here to
electrodes and these are just here to monitor electrical activity from here
monitor electrical activity from here
monitor electrical activity from here another zoom in we put down tiny tiny
another zoom in we put down tiny tiny
another zoom in we put down tiny tiny little seed sites and from these little
little seed sites and from these little
little seed sites and from these little seeds we put them in a solution and add

incredibly dense interconnected Network
incredibly dense interconnected Network very similar to the human brain we get
very similar to the human brain we get
very similar to the human brain we get about a billion connections per square
about a billion connections per square
about a billion connections per square centimeter when we make these not only
centimeter when we make these not only
centimeter when we make these not only that every single chip that we grow is
that every single chip that we grow is
that every single chip that we grow is going to be incredibly different from
going to be incredibly different from
going to be incredibly different from the last just like everyone’s brains are
the last just like everyone’s brains are
the last just like everyone’s brains are different from each others but they have
different from each others but they have

up atom by atom and form these tiny
up atom by atom and form these tiny filaments and this is a switch and if
filaments and this is a switch and if
filaments and this is a switch and if the filament is very
the filament is very
the filament is very we call that short-term memory and if
we call that short-term memory and if
we call that short-term memory and if it’s very thick we call it long-term
it’s very thick we call it long-term
it’s very thick we call it long-term memory so just like in the mammalian
memory so just like in the mammalian
memory so just like in the mammalian brain and standard computers today are
brain and standard computers today are
brain and standard computers today are more like a switch it turns on and it

the networks that I’ve grown so with this I would like to ask you given the
this I would like to ask you given the
this I would like to ask you given the potential benefits to society and the
potential benefits to society and the
potential benefits to society and the environment please don’t be afraid to
