The current era of artificial intelligence (AI) is characterized by the scaling of data and computational resources as the primary driver of emergent capabilities in AI models. However, this trend faces fundamental constraints on data availability and computing power. Recent breakthroughs suggest an alternative path forward—leveraging novel statistical and information-theoretic tools to enhance reliability and data efficiency, while enhancing intelligence per joule and per data point/token via hardware-software co-design principles. Understanding the fundamental limits of AI through the lens of information and physical principles, such as Landauer's principle, is crucial for developing sustainable and efficient learning systems. This special issue aims to advance theoretical and algorithmically motivated approaches to optimizing AI performance while reducing reliance on extensive data and energy resources.
