Techstrong.ai, Thursday, September 14,2023
Synopsis: In this AI Leadership Insights video interview, Mike Vizard speaks with Jim White, CTO of IOTech, about the challenges of deploying and maintaining AI at the network edge.
Mike Vizard: Hello and welcome to Techstrong.ai. We're talking with Jim White today who's CTO for IOTech, and we're talking about the challenges of deploying and maintaining AI at the network edge. Jim, welcome to the show.
Jim White: Thanks for having me, Mike. It's a pleasure to be on.
Mike Vizard: At the risk of a gross oversimplification, we have AI models that are trained up in the cloud somewhere, and then there's an inference engine created, and then we want to kind of move that inference engine as close to the point where data is being created and consumed, and that sounds simple enough, but we have a lot of data scientists involved, there's DevOps teams involved. So from your perspective, what are the challenges that we're seeing as we try to move AI close to the edge?
