Why does AI need so many chips?
AI, especially the kind that creates things like ChatGPT, learns by processing enormous amounts of data. This involves countless calculations and storing vast amounts of information temporarily. Memory chips, like those Samsung makes, are essential for this rapid data access and storage, allowing AI models to learn and operate efficiently, driving their high demand.
