In this six-article series from Mouser Electronics, we explore why AI is moving to the network edge and the technology that’s making it possible. The first article examined why AI needs to move to the edge. Here, we dive in to the hardware and tools … Read more
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is a discipline belonging to computer science that studies the theoretical foundations, methodologies and techniques that allow the design of hardware systems and software program systems capable of providing the electronic processor with performances that, to a common observer, would seem to be of exclusive relevance of human intelligence.
The cutting edge of real-time AI
Machine learning is traditionally processor-intensive; ML algorithms require large numbers of parallel operations. As a result, the models usually run in data centres at the core of the network. However, this has a direct impact in terms of latency, … Read more
