Artificial intelligence, machine learning and high-performance computing workloads are pushing electrical input/output to its limits in signal reach, energy efficiency and bandwidth density, turning optics from option to necessity. Complementary metal–oxide– semiconductor-integrated silicon photonics offers a practical path forward by combining high-volume manufacturing with mature photonic building blocks.

In this conversation, Prof. Bowers discusses how silicon photonics is becoming a critical technology for scaling AI infrastructure. He explains why major technology companies are investing in photonic integration, and how advances in on-chip lasers, optical interconnects, and photonic integrated circuits can address the bandwidth and energy challenges facing next-generation computing systems.
