💻 Hardware-Level AI Performance Throttling
Researchers have introduced a hardware-level mechanism to manage AI power to protect against the bypassing of software restrictions. The method utilizes four regulators within the GPU memory: L2 cache resizing, delay injection, and bandwidth control.
🌍 Transitioning to hardware control minimizes the risks of bypassing protections through software vulnerabilities and creates a foundation for secure autonomous systems at the chip level.
👤 This will allow for the physical limitation of the operating speed of uncontrolled AI on devices, making its actions less dangerous.
