Why Truly Smart Future Tech Needs Radically New AI Chips - insideBIGDATA

Much distance remains between today's AI hardware and the technologies needed to enable smart cities and autonomous vehicles (AVs) to function smoothly. To bring new innovations to reality, AI chipmakers must concentrate on honing the building-block technologies needed to enable the truly smart AV and IoT systems of the future. That means building processors efficient and compact enough to compute and interpret reams of data in real-time. To achieve maximum benefit, these processors must be embedded within the edge devices themselves. Improving performance and speed while keeping compute cost and power demands low is the central challenge.
