Bringing Light to the Digital Divide: Laser Links, AI, and the Future of Connectivity

A one-hour webinar presenting research on free-space optical communications that use structured laser light and machine learning to provide long-range, low-cost wireless data links. The talk explains how shaping beams and applying AI can stabilise links in real-world conditions and explores optical neural networks for in-light processing. The session is delivered by Dr Mitchell A. Cox of the Wits Optical Communications Laboratory and hosted by the Royal Society of South Africa and the Academy of Science of South Africa.
