The arrival of generative AI or GenAI, is a high-tech industry inflection point like few others. It will not only change how everyone uses technology, GenAI will change society. In terms of impact, it is similar to the disruptive changes driven by the adoption of the PC, the Internet, and cellular connectivity plus the smartphone – perhaps more so. Each of these technologies changed how we learn, how we work, and how we play; essentially changing how we live.
Additionally, there will continue to be exponential growth in the number of models as it becomes easier to access data sets and cloud resources to create new models. According to Mr. Solotko, “this is an innovation revolution that will continue to push the limits of technology over the next decade.”The recent buzz in the technology industry is the potential for doing AI, or more accurately generative AI, at the edge. The term “edge” itself is very nebulous.
The second reason is the need for performance. Many AI applications can and will require real-time or near real-time processing and the ability to perform functions anywhere, even when wireless communication networks are not available, such as automotive functions.
