Scientists in China have designed a tiny, modular chip that is powered by light rather than electricity — and they want to use it to train and run a future artificial general intelligence model.

Some experts believe such systems are many years away, with a bottleneck in computing power being a key blocker, while others believe we'll build an AGI agent as soon as 2027.

An AGI agent would likely require many orders of magnitude greater — as part of a broader network of AI architectures. Today, the blueprints for building an AGI system do not exist. —New DNA-infused computer chip can perform calculations and make future AI models far more efficient
