This is CBS. I on the world. I'm John Batchel. The Scholar Report with CEO Chris Regal of Scholar.com,

0:10.8

a global technology firm on all the major continents, transforming the retail space with digital signage.

0:17.7

Digital, meaning that we're connected to the world of computers once upon a time

0:23.2

and whatever they call them in the future. Moore's Law is the fixture. Chris brings to my attention.

0:29.6

You will recall this is from the 20th century. I believe it was in the 1960s and 70s that a man named

0:36.0

Gordon Moore, who is credited with two of the

0:40.0

important road signs to where we are today, Intel and Fairchild Semiconductor, said that

0:48.4

he expected the observation. The number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles about every two years.

0:57.0

This is an observation and a projection of an historical trend that is held in place since it was voiced in the 20th century.

1:05.7

Now, Chris is bringing my attention to the best thinking about the balance of this century is that Moore's

1:12.2

law will continue, at least for the next 20 years, meaning the power we have now for AI

and the power we need for androids, the power we need for tasks that we give some, we give an order

and the task is done in X number of hours without us

1:30.0

touching it all that power is ahead of us Chris a very good evening to you is this aspirational

1:37.8

Moore's law and the AI or is it underway now to your measure? Good evening to you. Good evening, John. The beauty and the mastery

1:49.8

of Moore's law of technology doubling every 24 months and then reducing costs by 50 percent

1:55.7

is that in each successive generation of technology, you run into limits at the physical world,

2:03.5

at the computational world, that are extremely complex challenges, that in many cases, in the

2:10.5

compute industry, people say, oh, we can't figure that out. And then smart people and capital

2:15.0

and research and time and blood, sweat, and tears, spend ways and find

2:19.5

ways to overcome that.

2:21.2

So every generation it's believed that, well, Moore's Law can't continue.
