AI at the Edge
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more a key ingredient to fulfil the new requirements of the forthcoming services and application in the most disparate verticals and domains of the society, from social science to industrial automation, from the creation of new molecules to more precise weather forecasts. At the same time, there's also an increasing trend to move closer to final users ("at the edge") needed data, storage and processing capabilities, to reduce system energy consumption and latency. This talk therefore elaborates on the convergence point of AI and Edge, picking some interesting challenges and providing some solutions, also coming from the work of European collaborative funded research projects.
