Researchers develop polymers boosting AI efficiency

Clemson University professor Stephen Foulger points out that AI's energy consumption is only going to increase as it becomes more prevalent in our lives.
To help, researchers are developing next-generation polymer-based materials that could make core computational systems nearly 1,000 times more efficient for certain operations.
As our lives get more digital, finding ways to cut down on AI's energy use is becoming pretty important for the planet.
