The Age of Light explores artificial intelligence beyond algorithms. By examining meaning, machines and the physics of computation, the book explains how chips, photonics, energy systems and infrastructure are shaping the future of intelligence in an increasingly physical digital world.
Artificial intelligence is often described as a software revolution, but beneath the algorithms lies a deeper transformation. From chips and photonics to energy systems and infrastructure, the future of intelligence is increasingly shaped by physics and the physical architecture of computing.
Artificial intelligence is scaling rapidly, but the next bottleneck may not be chips or networks. As hyperscale data centers expand, electricity supply, grid capacity and energy infrastructure are emerging as critical factors in the global race to power the AI era.
The global conversation about artificial intelligence remains dominated by software. New models. Larger parameters. Faster inference. More autonomous systems. Investors track benchmarks, governments debate regulation and boardrooms compete over who will deploy intelligence first.
