Every day, more of our state’s residents, students, employees, and entrepreneurs are using tools that improve their work and expand our knowledge. Among other benefits, artificial-intelligence tools are making energy use more efficient, improving diagnostic accuracy and creating new models for public education. Still, Californians and their elected leaders rightly demand safe and responsible development of AI.

In this episode of the AI + a16z podcast, a16z General Partner Anjney Midha shares his thoughts on how hardware for artificial intelligence might evolve over the years to come as we place more emphasis on AI inference workloads. Improvements in sensors, chips, models, and more could result in remarkably useful models that are able to run locally, resulting in wearable AI products that evolve the human experience.

Modern AI has allowed us to build the world’s first creative computers. Fields that once seemed uniquely human — like visual art, writing, music, or even the art of conversation — are now accessible to software in ways we couldn’t previously imagine. For many consumer AI apps, this is an incredible and groundbreaking feature. For business applications, though, creativity poses a problem.

AI should be open. Most of the core systems powering modern computing are now open source: server operating systems (Linux), virtualization (KVM, Docker), databases (Postgres), data analytics (Spark, DBT), programming languages (Javascript, Python, C), web servers (NGINX) — the list goes on. Why? The community. No single engineering team can anticipate every user’s needs or catch every bug.
