Artificial Intelligence (AI) is part of our daily life in cloud services such as: social media, call centres, chatbots etc, and we are seeing it coming out of the cloud and into the edge.

By eliminating data-intensive interactions with AI applications in the cloud, Edge AI can deliver performance advantages such as:

Lower latency
Lower power consumption
Greater privacy

Edge AI platforms deliver performance advantages

These edge platforms will outperform, outclass, and replace conventional applications currently performed using scalar processors and this is an opportunity for start-ups founded on skills in AI and machine learning to disrupt!

Established players will need to modernise to use this new technology, or they will run the risk of being left behind!

There is a Shake-up Coming

In “tomorrows world” even the tiniest chips will come with a kick of AI. Intelligence will be embedded in every “thing” we use, look at, touch, wear – at work, at home, when travelling, shopping, in entertainment venues.

Edge AI will enable your smart device to become more responsive, more adaptive, more accurate, more richly featured, more easily portable (or wearable), more affordable, and use less power.
