Well, AI has already received a lot of funding, and a lot of progress has been made. But we are near the limit of the roadmap for our conventional irreversible CMOS technology. In other words, since we already have chips with features about 3 nm long, there is not much room to shrink the features of these chips. We are running out of improvements of irreversible computation. Maybe we do not see as much progress in reversible computation development because of a lack of funding and interest and not because reversible computing is somehow infeasible. If there were as much interest in reversible computing as there were in AI, the promise of energy efficient reversible computing may seem much closer and a problem which is actually solvable. I therefore do not think it is fair to compare reversible computing with AI this way because of the lack of interest in reversible computing.
