From the network center to the edge - how Raspberry Pi predicts the direction of travel for AI compute will look
There is a "centrifugal tendency over time" for AI compute to migrate from the center of the network over time to the edge - and as it does that migration brings with it improvements in reliability, in cost structure, in privacy and in security.
That’s the thesis proposed by Eben Upton, Founder and CEO of UK firm Raspberry Pi, who goes on:
Devices at the edge of the network will become more performant and as research effort in AI drives down the compute requirement of a specific level of performance, that compute will naturally migrate outwards, he suggests:
We absolutely see it today in visual AI. Many of our largest, many of our highest volume OEM customers today are using Raspberry Pi platforms to run visual AI algorithms, which would have been inconceivable to run at the edge of the network a decade ago. We are seeing the same thing...
