SPECIAL MENTION: Artificial intelligence is the future, but AI software is advancing too fast for our hardware to keep up. So Cerebras Systems built the CS-2 Artificial Intelligence System, one of the world’s fastest AI computers, which runs on the 2.6 trillion transistor Wafer Scale Engine AI processor. The super-fast machine already is enabling some major breakthroughs, such as training AI models to identify water-borne pathogens, improve driving safety, conduct COVID-19 research, and perform efficient drug discovery. —Jared Lindzon
