Artificial Intelligence Breakthrough is Expected to Fuel More Energy Efficient Devices

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) will create more energy efficient devices that incorporate speech recognition, gesture recognition as well as electrocardiogram (ECG) classifications. As a result, more elaborate AI will be embedded in chips for local devices such as smartphones and smartwatches as opposed to the cloud. Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), the national research institute for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands, working with IMEC/Holst Research Centre from Eindhoven, announced they have achieved a mathematical breakthrough that would leverage AI technology to increase energy efficiency on local devices. This will make the applications running on these devices more robust and even more secure. The results have been published in a research paper (by Bojian Yin, Federico Corradi, and Sander M. Bohté) of the International Conference on Neuromorphic Systems.
