Optical interconnects have been crucial in supporting the immense growth of networking bandwidth for machine learning, successfully scaling with electrical I/O while simultaneously improving power efficiency and cost. Consequently, machine learning networks have become the primary driver for business and technological advancements in fiber optic communications.
This presentation will explore various network architectures and technological considerations involved in building networks for emerging machine learning applications.
A particular focus will be placed on the roles of optical interconnects and optical switching, discussing relevant technology trends, key metrics, and a roadmap for the next 3 to 5 years, including the need for and challenges with tighter integration of optics and electronics.
Agentic AI—systems that move beyond generating content to taking autonomous, goal-directed actions in real time—is top of mind in the news, in research, and in business.
MIT CSAIL has a very strong Agentic AI research ecosystem, with PIs exploring last mile AI, security, deployment, cost, physical AI, and so many aspects of the agentic space.
Join us for a day-long summit and be a part of what’s next in artificial intelligence.
