Artificial intelligence moves to the edge Business Post

The internet of things (IoT) has moved very much intro the mainstream of industrial applications in recent years, but the promise of making sense of data on site is being touted as an imminent step change. IoT devices will, it seems, meet artificial intelligence (AI). Hitherto mostly focused on small amounts of sensor data, the IoT of tomorrow will feature a lot more processing and storage power at the edge of the network. Simply because the edge is where the data is. "With this data decade there will be new insights," said Jeff McCann, director of IoT and 5G strategy for customer solution centres at Dell Technologies.
