Qualcomm is swimming upstream and intends to take its 30+ years of experience in power efficient mobile silicon right into the data center with a new purpose-built chip for AI inference acceleration. The infancy of AI technology is driving several fundamental shifts in how AI processing is accomplished. CPUs gave way to GPUs for their ability to perform millions of tasks in parallel, and inference processing is shifting from the cloud to the edge for applications that require real-time results. Another inevitable shift underway is the move to purpose-built silicon for AI. Qualcomm is ... Read More

Using AI technology with cameras and sensors laid out across the store and shelves, Amazon Go allows customers to walk in, pick up items, and walk out of the store without the need to queue or pay at the till. Since that launch, there has been a burst of activity in the space from internet companies, traditional retailers, and startups putting their stakes in the ground: Several stores like the Amazon Go are popping up in China. Brands include ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: . A new proposition is emerging as 5G networks roll out and artificial intelligence (AI) use cases proliferate across devices and the cloud. Both megatrends – 5G and AI – may converge at the start of the next decade in the 2020s, creating new opportunities and business models. In the past, I have been skeptical of how 5G will play a role with AI, but there may be a different way to look at the issue. AI Shifting from Cloud to Edge First, a bit on how AI works today and how it is shifting ... Read More

Feed: Alation. Author: Stephanie McReynolds. We live in an age of unprecedented speed and breadth of technological change. Since the year 2000, new discoveries are coming at a fast and furious pace in many technology sectors, including software, material science, neuroscience, and genetics. Innovations are also uniquely broad compared to other eras of technological innovation, spanning multiple technologies from innovations like genetically targeted cancer treatments to 3D bioprinting of tissue. Observers have called this “The Second Machine Age” and The Fourth Industrial Revolution.” In his book titled “The Fourth Industrial Revolution,” Klaus Schwab describes the age as, “characterized by a ...

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: . NVIDIA is not necessarily known for powering low power AI applications. Most of its artificial intelligence (AI) focus has been on powering high power cloud or data center applications, where its Tesla graphics processing unit (GPU) processors have largely led the market. However, over the last 12 months, NVIDIA has accelerated its reach beyond the data center and is now building its portfolio to service low power AI edge applications. When it comes to AI at the edge, NVIDIA has been focusing on the automotive sector with its Xavier platform and on robotics and ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: . Over the past several years, the benchmark for determining whether quantum computing is a viable commercial technology has been quantum supremacy. This term was coined by Caltech professor and quantum computing guru John Preskill to describe the demonstration of a quantum computer that can carry out tasks not possible or practical with a traditional computer. More recently, the term quantum advantage has been applied to this concept of reaching a point at which quantum computers surpass classical computers in their ability to perform artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. To achieve that level of performance, significant ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: . Musicians and artists have been using software to aid in music production for decades. As software tools have grown in sophistication, an emerging industry of artificial intelligence (AI) in music has emerged with applications in the area of music composition, performance, theory, and digital sound processing. Though music purists may take issue with AI being used to create or generate music, these technologies are also being used to refine human-generated music in the editing and mastering process. Mastering is the process of preparing and transferring recorded audio from a source containing the final mix ... Read More
