Can the brain help us fix AI's energy problem?In a recent Universiteit van Nederland podcast, Prof. Dr. Ir. Wilfred van der Wiel explores whether the brain can help solve AI’s energy challenges. AI grows more powerful (and power-hungry), and Wilfred and his team at UT are exploring a very different kind of hardware. Not bigger, faster servers, but brain-inspired chips that do more with less energy. “One AI prompt can use as much energy as charging your phone for ten minutes,” Wilfred explains in the podcast. “The data centre is out of sight, but the energy bill is not.”Read more
Two Brains Centre projects receive NWO KIC fundingThe Brains Centre, part of MESA+ (University of Twente), has acquired significant support for two innovative research proposals within the Knowledge and Innovation Covenant (KIC) program of the Dutch Research Council (NWO). The projects Smart Materials for Information Processing (SMIP) and Recycling Enhanced Smart Programmable ON-Demand coatings (RESPOND) were both awarded funding in the recent KIC round focused on smart materials.Read more
