If you took a normal poll in the embedded space and asked, “What’s now the best software,” a bulk of the responses would be AI. However, that response would be inaccurate since AI (or its subset machine studying) is not an application. It might be the signifies to some other application, but on its personal, it’s a know-how.

In Section I of this two-aspect weblog, I’m going to make clear why AI is the enabler to an software, and not the stop software. I’ll explore some of the near-expression employs of AI and how it matches into the customer and industrial realms. In Section II, I’ll appear a minimal more down the highway, dive into the AI ecosystem, and give some valuable resources for engineers searching to put into action this necessary technology.

In phrases of AI’s enablement, it should not be thought of as getting any various than small-electricity approaches, more rapidly compute, or the most recent security algorithms.
