Episode Notes

What this episode covers.

In this episode of In Simple Terms with Satish, we explore custom AI hardware — specialized chips designed specifically to run artificial intelligence efficiently.

This episode explains why general-purpose computers struggle with AI workloads, how dedicated processors are built to handle massive calculations faster and with less energy, and where these chips are already being used — from smartphones to self-driving cars.

A simple, analogy-driven explanation of why AI needs its own kind of hardware, and how these invisible chips are powering the intelligence around us.

In Simple Terms — technology explained without the noise.
