This week on Tech Can’t Save Us, Paul is joined by Michael Kissner, Founder & CEO of Akhetonics, the company developing the world’s first all-optical general-purpose processor.
They discuss how optical computing could transform AI, networking, avionics, and space applications by processing data with light instead of electricity. Michael explains why now is the right time for all-optical processors, how Akhetonics is challenging assumptions about hardware design, and why their fully optical approach stands out from hybrid solutions.
Michael also shares his unconventional journey from the German Armed Forces to leading one of Europe’s most exciting deep-tech startups. He talks about the lessons he’s taken from military operations and cybersecurity research, and how they’ve shaped Akhetonics’ approach to problem-solving, leadership, and scaling.
