Implementing AI: Hardware Challenges: Ultra-Low Power AI at the Edge with Lattice sensAI: The complete solution for AI inference - Matt Holdsworth, Lattice Semiconductors Inc
In this session we will give an introduction to Lattice’s sensAI solution stack including the latest enhancements to support higher accuracy, lower-latency AI applications. sensAI is Lattice’s award winning AI solutions stack providing a complete suite of material for deploying AI at the edge of the network including software tools, hardware platforms, IP, reference designs and production ready NN models.
The Implementing AI: Hardware Challenges, hosted by KTN and eFutures, is the first event of the Implementing AI webinar series to address the challenges and opportunities that realising AI for hardware present.
There will be presentations from hardware organisations and from solution providers in the morning; followed by Q&A. The afternoon session will consist of virtual breakout rooms, where challenges raised in the morning session can be workshopped.
Artificial Intelligence now impacts every aspect of modern life and is key to the generation of valuable business insights.
Implementing AI webinar series is designed for people involved in the management and implementation of AI based solutions – from developers to CTOs.
