Solving the compute crisis with physics-based ASICs

This is a perspective article I wrote with a number of researchers in unconventional computing, about solving problems in AI using physics-based chips. There is also a video of me discussing the paper on a livestream here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h_mf5usgvg

Started reading it. It's really fascinating topic. But as an outsider it's quite difficult to assess its potential.

How far away are we from seeing a real application of this in the AI space?

(It reminded me of an ex-colleague's company in Germany that makes analog computers https://anabrid.com.)
