The future of deep learning may involve photonic processors that use light instead of electrons to perform calculations. This approach aims to reduce the significant energy demands of current neural networks, which rely on electronic hardware like GPUs and TPUs. Photonic processors could accelerate the matrix operations that are central to deep learning's computational intensity. AI
