AI on the Edge

Artificial intelligence requires compute horsepower, but more efficient algorithms and specialized hardware have made it practical for edge nodes.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming from a hot topic and buzzword to a real set of commercial solutions for business, industrial, medical, military, and consumer applications. The challenge in developing AI and machine-learning (ML) solutions ranges from determining what kind of AI methodology should be implemented to training and deploying AI- and ML-based solutions.

In this podcast, we talk to Sam Fok, CEO of Femtosense, a company working on using sparse AI for real-time edge applications with silicon, IP, and software tools to create neural networks.
