Photonics-Enabled AI

Join us for the Optica Online Industry Meeting on Photonics-Enabled AI, exploring how photonics is emerging as a foundational technology for meeting the extreme compute, power, and data movement demands of artificial intelligence. As traditional electronic architectures face scaling and energy-efficiency limits, optical interconnects, co-packaged optics, photonic computing, optical switching, and AI acceleration hardware are increasingly being developed to support next-generation AI infrastructure.

This session will bring together hyperscalers, hardware architects, photonic chip developers, system integrators, and enabling technology providers to discuss how photonics can address the challenges of AI-scale computing. Attendees will gain insights into photonic AI accelerators, optical networking for AI clusters, packaging and integration constraints, emerging device and material platforms, energy efficiency considerations, and the pathways toward scalable deployment of photonics-enabled AI systems.
