Probabilistic Computing Can Lead To Breakthroughs In Artificial Intelligence

Intel is betting big on probabilistic computing as a major component to AI that would allow future systems to comprehend and compute with uncertainties inherent in natural data and will allow researchers to build computers capable of understanding, predicting and decision-making. Mayberry also noted in a post that a key barrier to AI today is that natural data fed to a computer is largely unstructured and'noisy'. Probabilistic computing can make computers efficient at dealing with probabilities at scale that is the key to transforming current systems and applications from advanced computational aids into intelligent partners for understanding and decision-making, he emphasised.
