The Intersection of SSCS and AI -- A Tale of Two Journeys-Slides

ABSTRACT Today’s technology landscape is dominated by the inescapable excitement of applications and possibilities enabled by artificial intelligence (AI). The timing could not be riper given the availability of big data, sufficient computing capability, and new machine learning techniques. How can aspiring students and professionals both young and seasoned in the field of solid-state circuits get into the action? In this webinar, we will hear two distinguished professors in cutting-edge AI research -- Vivienne Sze of MIT and Boris Murmann of Stanford -- offer their personal stories, insights, and perspectives of how they see circuits applied to the AI realm. They will provide their views of what AI is and isn't, address the types of AI problems they seek to solve and the angle they apply to leverage their established design expertise. Profs. Sze and Murmann will also offer their projections on future research opportunities and advice on how one can prepare to intersect them.
