Part 1. The promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming reality as its true potential begins to be tapped. The scope of what intelligent applications can do suddenly seems limitless. Re-fueled by the recent surge in Generative AI technology, continued advances promise to produce more capable intelligent systems that perceive, learn, and act autonomously on their own. But … Continued
Instant decision-making and processing is critical in missions where the slightest delay can have significant consequences. Consider search and rescue (SAR) teams entering disaster zones with limited and incomplete information. As the crisis unfolds, situations can change rapidly. This would require the team to quickly adapt their classifications by also accommodating entirely new elements. Without … Continued
As AI becomes further integrated into all aspects of our lives, there is a strong need for us to be able to trust its decisions. Trust is the central part of our relationship with AI. If an AI system operates competently, interacts appropriately, and delivers reliably in an ethical manner, this trust can be established. Consider … Continued
What do smartphones and AI have in common? They both share the letter “A”. They also share status as consumer technology. But they’re not “just” stuff that everyone uses daily; they are tools that can empower us to do more as we build our world. Smartphones have certainly done that: just think about what happened … Continued
What happens to our business if nobody needs bigger, faster computer processors? This was the quiet question keeping computer chip executives awake at night in the early 21st Century. It wasn’t that they were hitting a technical ceiling: their engineers continued to defy “Moore’s Law is dead” doomsayers, cranking out faster and faster chips year … Continued
I recently attended MLOps World and was greatly encouraged by the energy and optimism surrounding AI and what it means for the future. It was a global event with close to 400 international participants representing a wide range of industries who were all by and large seeking new ways to enable and support their ML projects. Titles … Continued
In 2017, The Economist published an article about The Fuel of the Future: Data Giving Rise to a New Economy. Today, this is more true than ever, and prospecting for new data, in the form of new applications and various sensor-driven data acquisition continues at a rapid pace. According to Cisco, in 2020, we generate about 22 exabytes of data … Continued
If you are an AI engineer dissatisfied with the speed or power consumption of your neural network inferences and believe there are no solutions available for better performance….then keep reading! I’d like to introduce a new way to run your deep neural networks at their most optimal point. It is dynamic, context-aware, and flexible. It … Continued
The Essence of Edge AI Many applications today need edge computing. However, due to privacy issues, the need for real-time responses, and lack of network connectivity, applications are often compromised. A similar position supporting edge computing comes from the argument around network scalability. The cost and latency for network backhaul can be problematic, especially when addressing … Continued
Drowning in Data We live in a data-driven world where IoT devices are always on, always tracking, and always monitoring. Being perpetually connected also means that we’re producing mind-boggling amounts of data. In fact, IDC Research predicts by 2020 we will be generating 44 trillion gigabytes annually, and the global data sphere will reach 175 zettabytes by … Continued
