Embedded AI

The Path Forward for Embedded AI In April 2021, I published an article in Printed Circuit Design & Fab, where I proclaimed the future of AI is embedded. In short, my view is that embedded systems will leverage greater usage of AI on the end device, meaning they will rely less on cloud platforms or data centers for inference. Without a doubt, I believe the future of AI is still embedded, but not with the chipset or system architecture I would have thought. At the time of writing Read Article

Customizing AI for Your Application

Customizing AI for Your Application AI technology is quickly changing how devices interact with the world. Traditionally, a programmer has to predetermine how a system will react to the various and unpredictable circumstances that can arise in real-world scenarios. With AI, a model can be trained that captures desired reactions in such a way that the model can reliably provide desired reactions to circumstances that were never anticipated. One challenge for developers new to AI is Read Article
