Key Trends in EdgeAI

Entrepreneurs are dealing with balancing a multifold increase in data generation by sensors, its data processing, data storage, latency, privacy on one side and increased processor speed, memory, decreased cost, advancements in algorithms,  increased awareness among users about data confidentiality on another side. It is driving new opportunities in edge devices capable of embedding intelligence- in less space and higher speed - without or as and when required connectivity, for ex: smartphones, Cameras, Robots, Wearables, Automotive, Smart Speakers, Drones, etc. 

This is likely to create new devices and applications in consumer electronics, smart home, automotive and transportation, government, health care, industrial, aerospace and defense, construction, and others. As per the ABI research report, the edge AI chipset market will overtake the cloud AI chipset market by 2025.

The webinar is intended to discuss these trends and what these opportunities in terms of business, markets, use cases, technology, algorithms for entrepreneurs from India for the local and global markets.
