The three-day World Artificial Intelligence Conference 2024 and High-Level Meeting on Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence (“WAIC 2024”) has just come to a close, focusing on ten key themes, including AI ethics and governance, big models, data, computational power, and embodied intelligence. Many AI technologies exist outside of this conference, and here’s a look at whether AI edge computing can change the dynamics of the industry.
Conference Highlights
New Generation Models and Product Launch
Big Model Showcase: Big Models such as text-to-image, text-to-video, device-side, and open-source models were showcased. Well-known companies such as Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei showcased their core products.
Innovative products were released, including “SenseTime Daydaynew 5.5” from Shangtang and “Xunfei Starfire Big Model V4.0” from KU Xunfei.
Intelligent Robots
Humanoid Robot Showcase: 25 humanoid robots were on display, including the world’s first full-size open-source general-purpose humanoid robot, Qinglong, and China’s first open-source community for full-size humanoid robots. Tesla displayed its Optimus Gen 2, while Unitree showcased robots such as H1.
Intelligent Terminal Showcase: companies such as Dell and Lenovo showcased many AI-powered terminal products, such as AI personal computers, smart AR glasses, and smart cars.
The Potential of Edge Computing
The conference promotes the connection between technology and investment, between technology and applications through a rich program. The conference not only opened the public’s eyes to the latest applications of AI technology in various fields, but also gave us a glimpse of a commonly used technology – Edge Computing technology.
EG8200 pro product is an edge computing gateway launched by IOTRouter. It has rich hardware interfaces to connect almost 99% of PLCs. In addition, the EG8200 pro also has a built-in independent NPU to support lightweight AI application development, which is sufficient to cope with lightweight AI applications such as edge detection and face recognition. It is worth mentioning that EG8200 pro can support VISION Web configuration components and Node-RED for secondary development.
Technology Advantage: The Unique Appeal of Edge Computing
Faible latence : AI edge computing greatly reduces the latency of data transmission because data processing is performed locally.
Bandwidth optimization: Edge computing can pre-process data locally and filter out valuable data before uploading it to the cloud. It greatly reduces the amount of data transmission and optimizes network bandwidth usage. This is especially important for IoT applications with large amounts of data.
Enhanced privacy and security: Edge computing improves data privacy and security by placing data processing and storage on local devices, reducing the risk of transmitting and storing sensitive data in the cloud.
Conclusion
WAIC is the world’s top event in the field of Artificial Intelligence, bringing together experts and technology enthusiasts from all walks of life to discuss cutting-edge advances and future development. As a disruptive technology, AI edge computing is profoundly changing the way of operation of various industries. AI edge computing is profoundly changing the way of operation of various industries it will show great application potential in more fields in the future.
