"AI/ machine learning inherently probabilistic... uses thermal noise's natural randomness to drive probabilistic bits enabling much more efficient AI sampling/ optimization... using existing thermal noise to perform calculations drastically reduces power required... harnesses ambient heat to run AI algorithms... faster generative AI/ Boltzmann machines... nanomagnetic/ spintronic device compatible... AI-specific hardware orders magnitude smaller/ more energy-efficient than current GPUs... edge devices, wearables"
