Stephen is the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research , maker of the Wolfram Mathematica software system and WolframAlpha computational knowledge engine, author of A New Kind of Science , and most recently originator of the Wolfram Physics Project , which is a collaborative effort to find the fundamental theory of physics. In the podcast episode, Stephen talks about the computational universe and the idea that even simple programs possibly have sophisticated abilities under the Principle of Computational Equivalence, but that these abilities are perceived to be useless to humans and therefore underexplored. He discusses the need for shared computational languages that will allow people and machines to mine the wealth of available historic data so that it can be translated into useable knowledge. Amir and Stephen talk about a number of subjects during their two-hour conversation, including Emanuel Kant, Noam Chomsky, if aliens might view a completely different part of physical reality than humans, encoding values for AI content ranking, and why Stephen left academia to develop his own research institute. Stephen discusses his predictions about the limitations of quantum computing, the potential of computing at the molecular scale, and what comes after semiconductor processing. He also explains why Einstein’s theory of relatively and spacetime is misunderstood. Amir asks Stephen to explain how multiway systems and the biology of neuroscience can be viewed in harmony.

In this episode of Intel on AI host Amir Khosrowshahi, assisted by Dmitri Nikonov, talks with Ian Young about Intel’s long-term research to develop more energy-efficient computing based on exploratory materials and devices as well as non-traditional architectures. Ian is Senior Fellow at Intel and the Director of the Exploratory Integrated Circuits in the Components Research. Ian was one of the key players in the advancement of dynamic and static random-access memory (DRAM, SRAM), and the integration of the bipolar junction transistor and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) gate into a single integrated circuit (BiCMOS). He developed the original Phase Locked Loop (PLL) based clocking circuit in a microprocessor while working at Intel, contributing to massive improvements in computing power. Dimitri is a Principal Engineer in the Components Research at Intel. He works in the discovery and simulation of nanoscale logic devices and manages joint research projects with multiple universities. Both Ian and Dmitri have authored dozens of research papers, many together, in the areas of quantum nanoelectronics, spintronics, and non-Boolean architectures. In the podcast episode, the three talk about moving beyond CMOS architecture, which is limited by current density and heat. By exploring new materials, the hope is to make significant improvements in energy efficiency that could greatly expand the performance of deep neural networks and other types of computing. The three discuss the possible applications of ferroelectric materials, quantum tunneling, spintronics, non-volatile memory and computing, and silicon photonics. Ian talks about some of the current material challenges he and others are trying to solve, such as meeting operational performance targets and creating pristine interfaces, which mimic some of the same hurdles Intel executives Gordon Moore, Robert Noyce, and Andrew Grove faced in the past. He describes why he believes low-voltage, magneto-electric spin orbit (MESO) devices with quantum multiferroics (materials with coupled magnetic and ferroelectric order) have the most potential for improvement and wide-spread industry adoption.
