Practical AI for Makers

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Sridhar Rajagopal

Home: California, United States

AI is the current buzz word, with deep learning and other models now capable of being run on Edge Devices, aside from the Cloud. As Makers, how can we take advantage of this burgeoning field to incorporate cool new functionality into the things we make? For the beginner, this can be a very daunting field. In this presentation, we'll take a 30,000 foot view of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, especially as it pertains to Edge AI (translation-we won't get bogged down by nitty-gritty now!). We will look at the various practical applications they can be used for, the various tools and frameworks that are available to utilize, and practical considerations of how to build and deploy a robust (not toy!) model that can run on your Arduino, Raspberry Pi or other suitable MCUs/SBCs.
