This part struck me:
"boosts data transmission and data processing speed, especially in AI applications"
How is this better for "AI" than it would be for any other general computing task? Looks like the AI-crazed execs had a go at this press release.
Novel approach to optical detection which is faster than current approaches and can be incorporated on an IC.
While interesting this approach is not any faster than the Ge based photodiodes that we have currently. State of the art is ~-110GHz in Germanium Si photonics using standard fabs. This is only 50GHz.
