SUMMARY:Biology Is All You Need
DESCRIPTION:Invited Talk\n\nBiology Is All You Need\n\nMarkowitz\n\nStorag
 e and compute technologies are no longer improving at pace with exponentia
 lly growing global demand. The world’s largest data storage stakeholders a
 lready face hard choices about what data to keep in the face of limited ca
 pacity, and compute stakeholders are rapidly approaching the resource scal
 ing limits of massive data centers for training the largest AI models.\n\n
 Biology offers a guide for solving these problems. Living systems store in
 formation in DNA with extraordinary density, enough to store all the world
 ’s data in one small room. Living systems also implement natural intellige
 nce – still an aspirational goal for AI – using low-power neural circuit “
 wetware” that fits between our ears. If we can understand and exploit thes
 e capabilities, we can overcome the scaling issues facing the HPC field.\n
 \nIn this talk, I will describe IARPA’s high-risk, high-payoff research pr
 ograms to address fundamental problems in storage and computing using biol
 ogy as a guide. This includes the Molecular Information Storage (MIST) pro
 gram, which is developing DNA data storage technologies that will eventual
 ly allow us to store exabytes of data in a tabletop form factor, and the M
 achine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICrONS) program, which has de
 nsely mapped the structure and function of neural circuits to guide the de
 velopment of next-generation computing architectures.\n\nSession Format: R
