Artificial intelligence, aka AI, means different things to different people, mostly dependent on the application/market they find themselves. In the embedded and industrial industries, it has the potential to be a very important tool, and many vendors are working toward such a goal. One of those vendors is MediaTek, and they are developing devices that can enhance AI or machine learning at the Edge. In this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion with Finbarr Moynihan, General Manager of MediaTek, I discussed the differences between AI and machine learning and what it means for Edge computing. https://www.mediatek.com/
