Companies hate to admit it, but the road to production-level AI deployment is littered with proof of concepts (PoCs) that go nowhere, or failed projects that never deliver on their goals. In certain domains, there’s little tolerance for iteration, especially in something like life sciences, when the AI application is facilitating new treatments to markets or diagnosing diseases. Even slightly inaccurate analyses and assumptions early on can create sizable downstream... Read more ›

This shift toward on-device intelligence is being driven by latency, privacy, and cost concerns that companies are confronting as they continue their investments in AI. For leadership teams, the opportunity is clear, says Chris Bergey, SVP and GM, of Arm’s... Read more ›
