A powerful approach to artificial intelligence could be coming to smartphones. Researchers from Purdue University are working to commercialize designs for a chip meant to help mobile processors make use of the AI method known as deep learning. Google, Facebook, and Baidu have invested in deep-learning technology, but so far it has been limited to large clusters of high-powered computers. When Google developed software that learned to recognize cats in YouTube videos, for instance, the experiment required 16,000 processors.
