Episode notes
Edge AI Is The Next Decentralization Wave
- AI will decentralize from data centers to the edge where latency, power, and privacy matter most.
- Edge compute lets devices act locally when no power or network is available.
Choose The Right Compute For The Task
- Use the right compute for the right task: data centers for heavy workloads, edge for low-power, low-latency tasks.
- Treat BrainChip and GPUs as complementary tools rather than direct competitors.
Local Inference Reduces Privacy Risk
- Keeping AI inference local prevents data from traversing networks and reduces interception risk.
- Local processing directly addresses privacy and security concerns for sensitive use cases.
