Neuromorphic Computing: The Brain's Lessons for Reducing AI Energy Consumption

Welcome to the AI Climate Cluster Meetup!🤔 What 18W computer is capable of general intelligence?Ramashish Gaurav will teach us about how neuromorphic computing offers a potential path towards improving the efficiency of AI hardware by 10-100x (read 10-100x less potential environmental impact).Ramashish Gaurav is a Ph.D. candidate in the BRICCS lab at Virginia Tech, where he builds energy-efficient Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) and has hands-on experience of deploying them on Intel's Loihi-1 and Loihi-2 neuromorphic chips. He is currently an intern in the Neuromorphic Computing Lab at Intel, SC. From developing SNN training algorithms to tackling time series classification with brain-inspired hardware, Ramashish brings a rare blend of theoretical depth and real silicon deployment experience, don't miss the chance to hear from someone actively shaping the next generation of neuromorphic systems!Link to his website: r-gaurav.github.io/Link to this lab's website: bricc.ece.vt.edu/ This meetup is hosted by Guthrie Gintzler.
