Sumario:	The article discusses efforts to develop new computer chip designs, including challenges in using silicon to improve the performance of artificial intelligence (AI). The role that graphical processing units (GPUs) play in assisting the development of machine learning, AI and deep learning, including in regard to their relationship with central processing units (CPUs), is discussed. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), including their flexibility as computer chips, are also discussed.
