Enterprises are putting a lot of time, money, and resources behind their nascent artificial intelligence efforts, banking on the fact that they can automate the way application leverage the massive amounts of customer and operational data they are keeping. …
We have to admit that it is often a lot more fun watching an upstart carve out whole new slices of business, or create them out of what appears to be thin air, in the datacenter than it is to watch how it will respond to intense competitive pressures and somehow manage to keep growing despite that. …
Hailo, an AI startup based in Israel, has released its initial chip that the company claims is “the world’s top performing deep learning processor,” with the Hailo-8 chip claimed to deliver 26 tera-operations pers second (TOPS), while consuming only a few watts of power. …
History and economics – as if you could separate the two – are burgeoning with examples of products being developed for one task and then being used, perhaps after some tweaking, for an entirely new and usually unexpected task. …
