Chinese chips may stand out in age of AI: MIT Tech Review - Xinhua

Chinese chips could catch up and even stand out in the current Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom, according to a news report published in a U.S. technology magazine Wednesday. In the current wave of enthusiasm for hardware optimized for AI, China's semiconductor industry sees a unique opportunity to establish itself, said the report published by MIT Technology Review, a magazine founded by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The article cites Chinese chip "Thinker" as an example. Designed to support neural networks, "Thinker" could recognize objects in images and understand human speech. What makes the chip stand out is its ability to "dynamically tailor its computing and memory requirements to meet the needs of the software being run."
