Unconventional AI(@unconvAI):Attending #ODSCAIEast today? Join our cofounder @mcarbin at 2:35 PM ET in the Keynote Room. “Nonlinear Dynamics as the Next Substrate for Intelligence” explores a fundamental idea: we may be building AI on the wrong substrate. The human brain runs on ~20 watts. Today’s AI systems require orders of magnitude more. That gap isn’t just engineering, it’s architectural. Michael will share why moving beyond digital computation toward nonlinear physical dynamics could unlock a radically more efficient path to intelligence.
