Everyone Talks About ChatGPT — But AI's Future Is Actually in Embedded Devices

Cloud AI gets all the headlines, but the real future of AI is in Edge AI, running on microcontrollers with kilobytes of RAM. This is because Cloud AI assumes low latency, constant connectivity, and no privacy constraints, which don't apply in the real physical world. Edge AI brings the intelligence to the data, processing it locally on the device. Firmware engineers play a crucial role in getting models to run reliably on these devices, within tight memory and power budgets.
