Where is Artificial Intelligence (AI) Going in 2021?

Artificial intelligence is going to the Edge and more so in 2021. Edge Computing refers to on the device closer to where the data is generated at the edge of the network. We'll see AI increasingly inferencing on the devices around us including mobile devices, sensors and smart cameras with Graphical Processing Units (GPUs, or specialised AI chips for sake of simplicity) embedded in the device. Indeed it is interesting to wonder where NVIDIA (arguably the world leader in GPUs) will go next following the acquisition of ARM for $40 billion. Counterpoint Research forecast that the number of mobile devices with GPUs (or AI Chips) will increase from 190 million in 2019 to 1.25 billion by the end of 2022, accounting for 3 out of 4 mobile devices.
