A newly developed AI wireless chip has surprised scientists. This unusual project has attracted attention not only because of its efficiency, but also because of its completely unexpected structure.
Some experts have noticed a surprising similarity between the chip’s design and the images of “alien cities” created by the same neural networks.

The result exceeded all expectations: the resulting design turned out to be significantly more effective than conventional engineering solutions.
But it’s not just the chip’s high performance that’s strange. Its structure is so chaotic and unusual that leading scientists compare it to images of alien megacities created by artificial intelligence.
Moreover, despite its complexity, the chip functions better than traditional designs, although no one fully understands why.
The designs “look randomly shaped,” lead researcher Kaushik Sengupta, an electrical engineer at Princeton, told Live Science. “Humans cannot really understand them.”
An article about the results of the study was published in the scientific journal Nature.
Developing such an effective solution without a clear understanding of how it works has experts with mixed feelings – admiration and anxiety at the same time.
How far can artificial intelligence go in its development, and will we ever be able to fully control its potential?
