Ludovic Denoyer of imec AI Labs, a Paris-based AI research center under semiconductor hub imec, introduced Yukan, a product that helps healthcare professionals create friendlier hospital experiences for children.
- Yukan is the lab's applied project beyond fundamental AI research, aimed at reducing children's fear of unfamiliar hospital environments
- The lab's broader thesis: easy scaling is over, and progress requires co-designing algorithms, software stacks, and hardware substrates under fixed power and latency constraints
- Focus areas include novel models and learning paradigms, next-generation system prototyping, and algorithm-hardware co-optimization
