This is the moment for AI at the edge. That\u2019s the view of Fabrizio Del Maffeo, Vice President and Managing Director for AAEON Technology Europe. He spoke with Chip Chat about AI trends his company sees emerging worldwide.\n\nA leading manufacturer of advanced industrial and embedded computing platforms, AAEON brought intelligence to industrial controls. Today, it supports artificial intelligence and sponsors UP Bridge The Gap*, a user community for established companies starting to use AI.\n\nThere\u2019s more data and more video at the edge than ever before, says Del Maffeo, and it must be processed at the edge rather than in the cloud because of security, privacy, and bandwidth limitations. \n\nAlgorithms running in the cloud must run on completely different architectures at the edge. AAEON has embraced Intel technology, particularly the Intel\xae Distribution of OpenVINO\u2122 toolkit for porting code between platforms, something vital for customers moving from low-cost industrial architecture to high-performance Intel\xae Xeon\xae Scalable Processors, including the 2nd Generation family. \n\nWhile porting algorithms from cloud to edge is not yet plug-and-play, Del Maffeo foresees stronger integration between tools at the edge, including tools for cloud, machine learning, and deep learning \u2013 like TensorFlow* and CAFFE*. \n\nTo learn more about AAEON visit aaeon.com.
