Edge computing combined with AI will allow to process enormous amounts of data locally. The additional cost of hardware accelerators is marginal. The computing performance of neural networks is boosted about ten times every year. The data can be processed in parallel, thereby outperforming traditional CPU design.
Usage of edge computing in applications such as self-driving cars, facial recognition or predictive maintenance is just the beginning. We will soon have enough computing power to build truly independently operating machines. They will be able to move safely in cities, factories and be almost as competent in their work duties as humans. Read More
