Harnessing the Power of Photons to Drive AI Innovation
At the heart of the AI transformation are photons. Photons are the foundation of our company and the key to enabling AI. From accelerating AI training and inference within data centers to interconnecting them across the globe, photonics provides the high-speed, low-latency networking required to support today’s most demanding AI workloads. To truly unlock AI’s potential, innovation in networking must continue across the entire value chain — from materials to devices, modules, and systems — to meet the power, performance, and scalability challenges of tomorrow.
In this keynote, Jim will explore how photonics is driving a new era of AI infrastructure and the pivotal role Coherent plays in enabling it.
