Implementing AI webinar series
Artificial Intelligence now impacts every aspect of modern life and is key to the generation of valuable business insights. AI, Neural Networks or Machine Learning technologies are rapidly being adopted and applied across a range of products and systems, trying to further increase responsiveness and scale up intelligence.
As novel algorithmic approaches emerge, it is clear that we need new, innovative computing architectures to provide the performance required within the core network, and across embedded platforms.
The UK has considerable commercial and academic strength across this key area. We will bring together technology suppliers and technology users, from both academia and industry, to work towards an understanding of the latest developments in the field, and to identify current and future opportunities.
This series was organised by the KTN and eFutures networks and was designed for people involved in the management and implementation of AI based solutions from developers to CTOs.
There were four monthly webinars – each focused on a different aspect of the use of hardware in AI systems:
- Hardware Challenges • Running AI at the Edge
- Vision Systems
- High Performance Architectures
The following sections contain details of the presentations – with the slides and the session recordings.

To make products more intelligent, more responsive and to reduce the data generated, it is advantageous to run AI on the product itself, as opposed to in the cloud.
The focus of this webinar was the opportunities and challenges of moving the AI processing to the Edge. The webinar had four presentations from experts covering overviews of the opportunity, implementation techniques and case studies.
