Automating AI development for the Edge

Presented by: Brian Cruz, Head of Core AI at Samba TV
At: MLOps Salon: Building AI-Enabled Products
The ability to run Artificial Intelligence algorithms at the edge provides a number of benefits not just limited to better latency, privacy, and cost. In fact, the advent of edge computing has initiated a new paradigm for distributed computing that enables entirely new classes of products and services. Creating new AI-enabled products within this new ecosystem brings with it a number of challenges, one of which is the automation of the development process itself. The development processes for hardware, software, and AI often differ, and this introduces a challenging set of constraints on projects. By combining the time-tested best practices from each of these three areas we can automate many parts of the development process in order to build better products that go to market more quickly.
