So I asked my AI expert BARD "...Sure, here are 10 examples of AI at the edge that you may have used without realizing it: Self-driving cars use AI to navigate the road, avoid obstacles, and make decisions in real time. Smartphones use AI to power features like facial recognition, voice recognition, and predictive text. Security cameras use AI to detect motion, identify objects, and alert security personnel to potential threats. Medical devices use AI to diagnose diseases, recommend treatments, and monitor patients' health. Industrial robots use AI to perform tasks such as welding, painting, and assembly. Agriculture uses AI to monitor crops, predict yields, and optimize farming practices. Retail uses AI to personalize shopping experiences, recommend products, and prevent fraud. Logistics uses AI to optimize shipping routes, manage inventory, and track shipments. Energy uses AI to optimize power grids, manage demand, and reduce costs. Transportation uses AI to improve traffic flow, reduce accidents, and make public transportation more efficient. These are just a few examples of the many ways that AI is being used at the edge. As AI technology continues to develop, we can expect to see even more innovative and impactful applications of AI at the edge in the years to come. " ---------------------------------------------------- FWIW I replaced my outdoor security camera (made in Chyna) and it now has an AI feature that tracks and identifies moving objects including humans. It can also tell if it is the same person or not. Pretty scary if the data is sent up to the cloud (mine is not) then create a Big Data database for the Feds (thinking Home Land Security). Then HLC, will track & create a RECORD OF 'EVERY' INDIVIDUAL movements, assign a social score and determine if you are a good boy/girl so you can use your government issued digital currency. The value proposition is there are significant benefits to be gained from the examples above. Just energy savings alone like using WiFi thermostats linked/monitored/controlled by your energy provider's AI to efficiently control the grid (peak vs off peak usage). It's happening now. Will s/d also see huge productivity gains as applications are layered on top of legacy systems.
