While the incredible achievements of AI often steal the spotlight , it ’ s important that we don ’ t overlook the pivotal role of hardware innovation in making the AI breakthroughs of today possible .

Without the rapid advances in processors , memory , storage and specialised AI chips , many of the AI applications we now take for granted would still be science fiction .

Just think about how far we ’ ve come in a relatively short time . A decade ago , training a large language model like GPT-4 would have been unimaginably difficult and costly . But thanks to more powerful GPUs , TPUs and other AI-optimised chips , we can now deploy transformer models with billions of parameters to handle complex natural language processing tasks .

On this subject , this month we take a look at how hardware is revolutionising how the likes of Tesla , Google and Amazon solve problems .

Elsewhere this month , we highlight the impact of generative AI on cybersecurity , feature an exclusive interview with Gaurav Pathak , Vice President of Product Management at Informatica , and explore the Top 10 sustainable AI companies .

Enjoy the issue .
