In this episode of Mike and Amit Talktech on IMD Podcast Network, Mike Wade and Amit Joshi talk to IMD senior researcher Tomoko Yokoi about Edge AI, one of the fastest growing frontiers in AI.
Drawing on over 20 years of experience in the B2B and B2C industries, Tomoco explains what AI is, why it matters, and how both consumer and business applications can be rebuilt over the next decade.
The discussion unravels how to run AI directly on local devices, bringing speed, bandwidth savings, potential privacy benefits, and also creating new opportunities for non-traditional AI players such as telecom companies and hardware producers. Tomoko also explores the rise in hybrid AI models that blend cloud and edge capabilities, and the competitive shakeups that this could trigger in the AI ecosystem.
From healthcare wearables to next-generation smartphones, mining equipment, and future 6G services, the conversation delves deep into the “edge” into the technical, strategic and regulatory implications of AI.
