AI Hardware Summit was held during September 13–15, 2022, at Santa Clara Marriott, CA. It focuses on systems-first machine learning to reduce time-to-value in the ML lifecycle and to unlock new possibilities for AI development. It is a great event to feel the pulse of AI and learn its frontiers in 2022.

This year, for the first time, AI Hardware Summit was co-located with Edge AI Summit, which focuses on economical, efficient, and optimized AI at the edge. One pass for two conferences. It is a great opportunity for AI experts to get together and build better technologies.

Here is a list of what we have learned from the two summits:

Edge AI is a huge growth and performance improvement opportunity
AI chips can detect human emotions
TPG can be used for edge AI
Foundation models bring a new era of AI
Next steps for large-scale AI infrastructure

Edge AI Is a Huge Growth and Performance Improvement Opportunity

Edge AI is deploying AI applications in devices throughout the physical world. It is at the network’s edge, close to where the data is located.
