My
latest on InfoWorld looks into edge AI and its role in AI inference.
Edge AI has been bubbling up for some time. But now, there’s renewed talk about using edge AI as the industry shifts from training to inference.
Excited to share my feature for InfoWorld today that dives deep into edge AI.
As an alternative to public clouds, edge AI has an interesting role to play in inference. The drivers include reduced cost, better privacy, lower latency, and more.
Advancements in more powerful devices, smaller models, and distributed AI frameworks are also enabling this reality.
Learn why many — from Morgan Stanley to Red Hat — see edge AI as enabling the future of AI inference, the tech required, and the roadblocks we’ll need to overcome to get there.
