Are robots going to be able to work independently without the need to connect to a server?

What are A.I chips?

---

In this episode of Rhona Ask, Rhona is joined by Dr. Max Lemme, to discuss artificial intelligence chips (A.I chips) and how they make robot independence possible.

Dr. Lemme is has worked at Harvard University and is now a professor at RWTH Aachen University. He is the CEO of AMO GmbH and is the co-founder of Black Semiconductor. His research team is one of the leading teams working on A.I chips today.

Today, Rhona and Dr. Lemme discuss:

• Will A.I reach a level of independence where it will not need human input?
• A.I chips will help bring down our carbon footprint.
• How A.I chips will help the auto industry with self-driving cars.
• The ethical decisions that must be made with A.I chips.

QUOTES:

“At some point, there is the big question of robotics, and if it’s a robot that can think and act on it’s own, the big question will come: what if I want to turn off the robot and it determines by itself that it does not want to be turned off?” - Dr. Lemme

“5G is not fast enough to ensure that the car can drive autonomously at the speeds that we have today. The latency of the data that we send to get processed and get sent back is not sufficient to make ad hoc decisions.” - Dr. Lemme
