SEOUL, Feb. 26 (Aju News) -- In a bid to secure core technologies related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, South Korean scientists have developed a chipset for mobile devices which is more efficient in processing artificial intelligence (AI).
AI processing chips for mobile devices usually are slow in processing and consume much power. Scientists from South Korea's most prominent research institute, KAIST, said in a statement Monday that they have created a new AI chip for mobile devices in a joint project with YX Factory, a chip startup.
The new chip uses an artificial neural network to effectively support deep learning, a self-learning process which is vital in developing AI. It can carry out multiple tasks simultaneously by using convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks, which are ideally designed to search and study data such as images, voices and the meanings of spoken words.
"It means a great deal as we have developed an AI chip which runs on low power," Professor Yoo Hee-jun said. "We expect the ship to be used in recognizing facial expressions and movements as well as in translation." The AI chip was introduced at the 2018 International Solid-State Circuits Conference on February 13.
