Korean researchers develop AI chip that recognizes objects

Korean researchers have developed an AI chip that can recognize objects just like the human eye.
The small, high-performance chip is expected to be used in surveillance cameras and drones.
Park Se-young has more.
This artificial intelligence chip with visual functions can recognize everyday objects.
Korean researchers have successfully created a visual intelligence chip modeled after the human brain by dramatically improving its calculation efficiency.

"The technology that can recognize and locate objects can now be applied to machines and devices."

The five-millimeter chip's neural operation speed has been improved ten-fold, …while its energy usage has been reduced to one one-hundredth of the previous system.
Chips using existing software can only recognize one object per second, but the new chip is capable of 33 object recognitions per second.
The low power technology means the chip can be immediately used in smartphones and surveillance cameras …without changing their existing structures.

"We've secured the technology for installing semiconductors capable of AI computing into moving objects like self-driving cars or drones."

The technology, which can efficiently locate specific objects or people, is expected to speed the commercialization of visual intelligence.
