Researchers present AI chip that learns instantly without internet
Adaptive edge technology promises smarter, faster, and privacy-focused AI for smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and medical devices
Researchers in the semiconductor field have unveiled a groundbreaking AI chip capable of learning and improving its decision-making instantly, without the need for cloud connectivity, as reported by Tabnak, a partner of TV BRICS.
Designed using an adaptive edge learning architecture, the chip analyses new data locally and updates its behavioural patterns independently, eliminating the need to send information to external servers.
Unlike traditional AI chips that rely on pre-trained models, this innovation supports continuous learning, enabling devices to adapt in real time to new user behaviours or environmental conditions. The approach not only accelerates processing speeds but also significantly enhances user privacy.
Experts highlight potential applications in wearable medical devices, where the chip could improve the detection of vital anomalies, and in autonomous vehicles, where it could enhance system responsiveness in unpredictable scenarios. Additionally, the chip is estimated to reduce energy consumption by approximately 30 per cent, offering a key advantage for mobile and embedded technologies.
Prototype versions have already been successfully tested in experimental devices, and developers anticipate commercial deployment within the next two years, potentially revolutionising smartphones, connected vehicles, and medical equipment.
Other BRICS countries are making progress in the semiconductor industry, investing in research centres, new production plants, and strategic alliances.
For example, Russia inaugurated the first production plant in Zelenograd for photonic chips designed for high-speed data transmission, including in 5G networks. The facility will be able to produce up to 2,000 wafers and 500,000 chips per year, completely covering domestic needs and reducing dependence on critical imports.
The project, supported by a US$40.5 million subsidy, aims to position Russia as a leader in telecommunications infrastructure and optical computing. This was reported by the website of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade.
According to ANTARA, Indonesia is accelerating the development of a national semiconductor ecosystem to reduce dependence on imports and strengthening global competitiveness. The country launched a US$15 million chip design programme to cultivate national talent and strengthen collaboration between industry, universities, and international partners, backed by the Asian Development Bank.
Brazil is also advancing its semiconductor industry through a joint venture with Malaysia, announced by the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Luciana Santos. The alliance will enable the production of chips for electric and hybrid vehicles, strengthen the National Centre for Advanced Electronic Technology (Ceitec) and take advantage of strategic minerals such as rare earths, according to Brasil de Fato, a partner of TV BRICS.
In India, it was announced that the country will have its first domestically produced chip. Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw confirmed the opening of a state-of-the-art manufacturing centre, which will generate employment for 1,200 professionals and produce computers, laptops, tablets, and monitors. In addition, the Indian government is also training 85,000 engineers to consolidate the country's technology and electronics sector by 2047, reports ANI, a partner of TV BRICS.
